An air compressor handles 8.5 m3/min of air with a density of 1.26 kg/m³ and a pressure
of 1 atm and it discharges at 445 kPa (gage) with a density of 4.86 kg/m³. The change in
specific internal energy across the compressor is 82 kJ kg, and the heat loss by cooling
is 24 kJ /kg. Neglecting changes in kinetic and potential energies, find the power in kW.
Wind blows steadily at 7 m/s into the blades of a wind turbine. Compute the actual electric power generation of the system assuming an overall efficiency of 30 percent of a wind turbine with 80-m-diameter blades. The air density is 1.25 kg/m3. Answer in KW.
A wind turbine that is 80 meters tall with a blade length of 160 ft will be used to generate electricity in an off-grid farm. The average annual wind speed in the area is 50 ft/s. Calculate the power in Megawatts that can be generated by the turbine with an efficiencyof 95%.
