You are asked to design a small wind turbine (D-x+1.25 ft, where x is the last two digits of your student ID). Assume the wind speed is 15 mph at T-10°C and p-0.9 bar. The efficiency of the turbine is n- 25%, meaning that 25% of the kinetic energy in the wind can be extracted. Calculate the power in watts that can be produced by your turbine.

You are asked to design a small wind turbine (D=x+1.25 ft, where x = 22). Assume the wind speed is 15 mph at T=10°C and p=0.9 bar. The efficiency of the turbine is n = 25%, meaning that 25% of the kinetic energy in the wind can be extracted. Calculate the power in watts that can be produced by your turbine. I
Fluid Mechanics : Energy and Power: An engineer is considering the development of a small wind turbine (D=1.25m) for home applications. The design wind speed is 15 mph(6.706m/s) at 10oC and 0.9 bar (90kPa). The efficiency of the turbine is 20%, that is 20% of the kinetic energy of the wind can be extracted. Estimate the power in watts that can be produced by the turbine. Hints: 1) In the time interval delta t, the amount of mass that flows through the rotor is: delta m = mdot delta t 2) The kinetic energy in the flow is: (delta m V2/2)
Please explain a little your answer.
Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. A 6-MW offshore wind turbine has a capacity factor of 40%. It has a height of 120 m, and 107-m long blades. The angular acceleration is 1.17 rad/s2. Assume that the distance from the center of the turbine to the connection with the blade is negligible, and that the turbine starts from rest. At t = 12 s, calculate the velocity and the acceleration for points (a) at half the length and (b) at the tip of the blade.

. You are required to design a roller coaster with the profile shown in Figure Q2(a). An electric motor will pull the coaster to the top of the first hill. After the coaster has been pulled to the top, no more external work will be added to it. Hint: the amount of energy the coaster has to complete its journey on the track depends on the potential energy on the first hill This will give you the relationship berween the height of this hill and the speed of the coaster. The shape of the first hill will detemine if the coaster will safely travel on the track and speed of the coaster. Hint: you can imagine the coaster as a particle that moves in space along the track in a projectile motion. The coaster exit through a second hill to maintain feeling of speed and thrill in the ride. The second hill is also to maintain the speed to the next stage of the ride. Hint: the safety of travel on the track depends on the speed you are travelling and is related to the hill you are coming from. Instead…

Question 9.8 A quarter scale turbine model is tested under a head of 40 m. The full scale turbine is required is required to work under a head of 100 meter and to run at 430 rpm. At what speed must the model be run and if it develops 100 kw and uses 0.35 m/sec of water at this speed. What power will be admitted from full scale turbine assuming its efficiency is 3% more than that of model. State the type of turbine and explain briefly why the efficiency of fall scale turbine should be better than the efficiency of model.
