A water turbine delivering 10 MW power is to be tested with the help of a
geometrically similar 1 : 10 model which runs at the same speed and efficiency.
The power developed by the model will be:
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. Scan the solution of the problem and upload in the vUWS before
closing the vUWS or moving to other question. DO NOT EMAIL TO LECTURER.

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.

In the first site, the wind blows steadily at 7 m/s for 3000 hours per year, whereas in the second site the wind blows at 10 m/s for 2000 hours per year. Assuming the wind velocity is negligible at other times for simplicity, determine which is a better site for wind power generation. Hint: Note that the mass flow rate of air is proportional to wind velocity.[take the density of air to be ρ = 1.25 kg/m3]arrow_forwardA pipe line of length 2000 m is used for power transmission.
