3. Please calculate the annual electricity production of a wind farm with 20 turbines. The annual mean wind speed is 7 m/s and diameter of the blades is 20 m. If we assume power consumption of a person is 3,000 kWh, about how many people will this energy support? Annual electricity production (KWh) = K Vm³ At T Where: - - - K = 3.2 (factor based on turbine performance) Vm= annual mean wind speed (m/s) At = swept area of turbine (m2) T = number of turbines Suitable for medium- to large-scale wind turbines (> 200 m2 swept area)

Q3) A compressor, requiring 90 kW is to run at about 250 r.p.m. The drive is by V-belts from an electric motor running at 750 r.p.m. The diameter of the pulley on the compressor shaft must not be greater than 1 meter while the centre distance between the pulleys is limited to 1.75 meter. The belt speed should not exceed 1600 m/mi. Determine the number of V-belts required to transmit the power if each belt has a cross-sectional area of 375 mm² density 1000 kg/m and an allowable tensile stress of 2,5 MPa. The groove angle of the pulley is 35°. The coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulley is 0.25.
