1)
You are advising a small town that wants to install a single wind turbine to power homes in the community. The results of a wind survey are shown in the table below.
The wind turbine manufacturer has 3 models at different price points, also shown in
the table.
1.1)
Complete the table of numbers. For each turbine, compute the maximum power it can generate
(in megawatts) and the installation cost per megawatt
.
The maximum power that a wind turbine can generate is given by
Power
maximum
= 0.59 x ½ ρ
A V
3
Assume: ρ
= 1.2 kg/m
3
(air density)
Recall that the 0.59 is the “Betz Factor” and accounts for the fact that it is not physically possible to extract all of the kinetic energy from moving air.

1.2)
If the primary concern of the town is to maximize the power generated per dollar of their investment
, which turbine do you recommend they install?
1- 0.009008/1,000,000 = 9.008 x 10
-9
MW/$
2- 0.072316/4,000,000 = 1.807 x 10
-8
MW/$
3- 0.215307/18,000,000 = 1.19615 x 10
-8
MW/$
Based on this, I recommend they install turbine #2 in order to maximize the amount of power generated per dollar they spend on installation. 1.3)
If the typical home in the community uses 50 kWh of energy each day, how many homes could be powered by the largest
of these turbines?
Largest turbine- turbine #3
1 kWh = amount of energy it takes to run a 1,000 watt object for 1 hour
Turbine #3 produces 215,307 watts of energy→ 1 kWh = 1,000 watts
215,307/1,000 = 215.307 kWh
215.307/50 = 4.31
In total, 4 homes could be powered by the largest of these turbines.
1.4)
OPTIONAL. ANSWER WILL BE PROVIDED, BUT UNGRADED. In 1.1 above, you calculated the maximum
power generated by the biggest wind turbine. Let’s assume that, due to capacity factor, the average power over the course of a year is just half that. Further assume that we sell every kWh of electricity we produce. If the electricity is sold to at $0.25 / kWh, how many years will it take to earn back our installed cost of $18 million?
Page 3
of 11
2)
For your personal edification, read some history behind the power unit “horsepower.” And then proceed to this idea of using Tesla batteries for community
power!
2.1)
What is the peak power output of the Tesla Model X Plaid (in horsepower).
1.020 horsepower.
2.2)
How many watts of power is this equivalent to? (You can use a conversion factor you find, rather than dimensional analysis.)
1 horsepower = 745.7 watts
1,020 * 745.7 = 760,614 watts
2.3)
A community wants to set up a way for owners of Tesla Model X Plaid vehicles
to use their cars’ battery packs as a kind of neighborhood emergency back-up
power source. Perhaps the community has a renewable source (solar or wind) that could be used to charge up these “volunteer batteries.”
For a single Tesla Model X Plaid vehicle, how many homes could we supply electricity to? Assume that every home requires 2,000 watts of electrical power
to function adequately.
•
Electric vehicles are essentially giant batteries on wheels, so this isn’t a terrible idea. We just need volunteer Tesla owners in the neighborhood who are OK with supplying electricity to the neighbors in a pinch!
•
In the next problem, we’ll get to how long
the battery can supply power. For this problem, we just want the number of 2,000 watt loads we could supply by pulling peak power out of a single Tesla battery.
760,614 watts/2,000 watts = 380.307
We could supply electricity to 380 homes with one Tesla Model X Plaid.
2.4)
The battery pack in a single Tesla Model X Plaid can store 120 kWh of electrical energy. If we powered all
of the homes that you calculated in 2.3 (above) with 2,000 watts, how long would the power stay on before we need to
switch back to the grid?
•
Start with “Energy = Power x Time” or “Time = Energy / Power.”
•
Assume that the single Tesla battery can keep putting out its full peak power until it’s completely drained. (Probably not a great assumption, but
we’ll go with it anyway!)
•
Assume that the Tesla owner is OK with waking up to find their car completely dead because the neighborhood needed power overnight during a snowstorm. (Also probably not a great assumption.)
●
Power required = 760,614 watts

You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
yield stress for the Ti-6Al-4V…

Important instruction: These questions use the last three-digit value (L3D) of individual student matrix numbers. For example, if the matrix number is CD180264 then the L3D value is 264 (since the last three digits is 264). Some data require multiplication of the L3D value, for example, 10(L3D) means 10 x L3D

You are an engineer working on a project and your prototype has failed prematurely. You question whether or not a key component of the prototype was manufactured with the correct material. There are two way to check for the material properties. The first way is to have a material certification done to confirm the exact material composition. This will take some time. The second method to confirm the material properties is to make an ASTM test sample and test for the material properties. This tensile test was completed on a test sample with an initial diameter of .501” and an initial length of 2”. The Load-Deflection data for this tensile test is below. Use this data to answer the first set of questions on the Final Exam in eLearning. A. Determine the Ultimate Tensile Strength B. Determine the 0.2% Offset Yield Strength C.
