Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 82P
A large Darrieus vertical axis wind turbine was built by the U.S. Department of Energy near Sandia, New Mexico [48]. This machine is 18 m tall and has a 5-m radius; the area swept by the rotor is over 110 m2. If the rotor is constrained to rotate at 70 rpm, plot the power this wind turbine can produce in kilowatts for wind speeds between 5 and 50 knots.

A two-bladed horizontal axis wind generator has a 30 m blade length. At an 8.8 m/s wind speed, this particular turbine generates 421 kW with a 35% efficiency (i.e., Cp = 0.35). What is the most power a hypothetical turbine could generate at this wind speed? Assume that the density of air is 1.25 kg per cubic meter.
