How does the wind turbine generator work?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: wind pushes directly against the blades of the turbine, which converts the linear motion of the wind into the rotary motion, then it spins the generator's rotor and the harder the wind pushes, the more electrical energy can be generated.

Argon gas enters steadily an adiabatic turbine at 900 kPa and 450C with a velocity of 80 m/s and leaves at 150 kPa with a veloc

Answer:

Temperature at the exit = $267.3 C$

Explanation:

For the steady energy flow through a control volume, the power output is given as

$W_{out}= -m_{f}(h_{2}-h_{1} + \frac{v_{2}^{2}}{2} - \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2})$

Inlet area of the turbine = $60cm^{2}= 0.006m^{2}$

To find the mass flow rate, we can apply the ideal gas laws to estimate the specific volume, from there we can get the mass flow rate.

Assuming Argon behaves as an Ideal gas, we have the specific volume $v_{1}$

$v_{1}=\frac{RT_{1}}{P_{1}}=\frac{0.2081\times723}{900}=0.1672m^{3}/kg$

$m_{f}=\frac{1}{v_{1}}\times A_{1}V_{1} = \frac{1}{0.1672}\times(0.006)(80)=2.871kg/sec$

for Ideal gasses, the enthalpy change can be calculated using the formula

$h_{2}-h_{1}=C_{p}(T_{2}-T_{1})$

hence we have

$W_{out}= -m_{f}((C_{p}(T_{2}-T_{1}) + \frac{v_{2}^{2}}{2} - \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2})$

$250= -2.871((0.5203(T_{2}-450) + \frac{150^{2}}{2\times 1000} - \frac{80^{2}}{2\times 1000})$

<em>Note: to convert the Kinetic energy term to kilojoules, it was multiplied by 1000</em>

evaluating the above equation, we have $T_{2}=267.3C$

Hence, the temperature at the exit = $267.3 C$

How can a model be created to predict how forces affect objects at a distance?

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Gravitational force increases as the masses of the objects increase and decreases as the distance between the objects increases. Balanced forces acting on an object cause no change in the motion of the object. When unbalanced forces act on an object, the sum of the forces is not equal to zero.
