MW and blade span diameters of over 160 m are available for electric power ation. Consider a wind turbine with a blade span diameter of 100 m installed at a site subjected to steady winds at 8 m/s. Taking verall efficiency of the wind turbine to be 39 percent and the air density to be 1.25 kg/m³, determine the electric power ated by this wind turbine. Also, assuming steady winds of 8 m/s during a 24 hour period, determine the amount of electric y and the revenue generated per day for a unit price of $0.09/kWh for electricity.

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.
