7.7 An engineer is considering the development of a small wind turbine (D = 1.25 m) for home applications. The design wind speed is 15 mph at T = 10°C and p = 0.9 bar. The efficiency of the turbine is n = 20%, meaning that 20% of the kinetic energy in the wind can be extracted. Estimate the power in watts that
