Answer to Problem 5.73P

The Pi terms are f(n,ΩDv)=PD2ρv3

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Windmill parameter:

Diameter = 50 cm

Power developed = 2.7 kW

Speed of rotation = 4800 rpm

Concept Used:

P=f(D,ρ,v,Ω,n)k=5j=3(M,L,T)Numberofterms=kj

Calculation:

P=f(D,ρ,v,Ω,n)k=5j=3(M,L,T)Numberofterms=kjNumberofterms=53Numberofterms=2

The dimensions of each variable are,

{P}={ML2T3}{D}={L}{ρ}={ML3}{v}={LT1}{Ω}={T1}{n}=1Nowtaking(D,ρ,v)asrepeatingvariables,wegetf(n, ΩDv)=PD2ρv3

Conclusion:

The Pi terms are f(n,ΩDv)=PD2ρv3.

Answer to Problem 5.73P

The power developed is 5.989 kW

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Geometric parameter of the prototype:

Diameter = 5 m

Wind speed = 12 m/s

Altitude = 2000 m

Concept Used:

f(n,ΩDv)=PD2ρv3=constant

Calculation:

For geometric similarity  n( number of blades) = constant

For Dynamic similarity:
