3.) An air compressor handles 8.5 m’/min of 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 (a) the work in kJ/kg and
(b) the power in kW.
In wind turbines, the minimum wind speed at which useful power can be generated is called the (a) Rated speed (b) Cut-in speed (c) Cut-out speed (d) Available speed (e) Betz speed
How long should a rotor blade of a wind turbine be if it is designed to produce 10 kW and the prevailing wind speed is about 50 kph? Assume that air density is 1.20 kg/m3.
