Q6) (a) Two sites are being considered for wind power generation. In the first site, the wind blows steadily at 7 m/s for 3000 hours per year, whereas in the second site the wind blows at 10 m/s for 2000 hours per year. Assuming the wind velocity is negligible at other times for simplicity; determine which a better site is for wind power generation. Hint: Note that the mass flow rate of air is proportional to wind velocity. (Take the density of air to be ? = 1.25 kg/m3).

= (a) A centrifugal pump, with salt water as the working fluid, has the impeller blades rotating at 750 rpm. The fluid enters the blades in the radial direction, i.e. at an angle of α₁ = 0°, and exits the blades at an angle of 35° from the radial direction. i.e. α₂ = 35⁰. The inlet radius and blade width are r₁ 12.0 cm and b₁ = 18.0 cm, respectively. The outlet radius and blade width are 1₂ = 24.0 cm and b₂ = 16.2 cm, respectively. Assuming 100 percent efficiency, and if the volumetric flow-rate through the pump is 0.573 m³/s, compute the net head produced by the centrifugal pump. Furthermore, calculate the required brake horsepower in Watts. Take the density of salt water to be p 998.0 kg/m³. =
