Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

(a) Calculate the main dimensions of the rotor (radius, chord length, and operating rpm)
of a multi blade (18 blades with solidity 0.5) wind machine operating at a design wind
speed of 25 kmph. The blade length is 1 m. The machine operates a reciprocating water
pump having capacity flow rate) of 5.1 m³/h and a lift (water head) of 9 m. The
efficiency of the reciprocating water pump is 0.6 and the transmission efficiency from
the rotor to the pump is 0.9. Assume water density to be 996 kg/m³. For this multi blade
machine Cp,max=0.31 and TSR = 0.75.
(b) Find out design wind speed for a turbine at a particular location, which will give
more energy than any other wind speed. Assume that the wind speed frequency
distribution for that location has been given by the Weibull density function.
