- 2. Consider a wind turbine that is situated in an area that has steady winds. The turbine rotates at 16 RPM. The mass flow rate through the turbine is 41,025 kg/s. The tip velocity is 260 km/hr. Take the air density to be 1.31 kg/m and assume 180kW of electric power is generated by the turbine. Determine the following: a. Average velocity of the air b. The efficiency of the turbine c. Assuming winds are steady for 95% of the year, is this a suitable location for a wind turbine? Explain.arrow_forwardA pump-turbine is a piece of equipment that can operate either as a pump or as a turbine, depending on the direction of the water flow. The picture on the right shows a pump-turbine system.When it is daytime, this system is used as a turbine, taking water from the upper reservoir and discharging it into the lower reservoir, producing electricity. When it is nighttime, electricity is cheaper, and this system is used as a pump, taking water from the lower reservoir and discharging it into the higher reservoir, so that it can produce electricity again the next day when it is used as a turbine. Consider that, using the system as a turbine or pump, the water flow is 1m3/s and the pressure drop is 5 m, determine:(a) The power extracted from the fluid by the turbine (points 1 and 2 are as shown in the figure: z1=35 m and z2=0 m).(b) The useful power delivered to the fluid by the pump (points 1 and 2 in the figure should be reversed: z1=0 m and z2=35 m).arrow_forwardA 0.3 m^3 rigid tank receives paddle work at a rate of 4.5 W for 30 minutes.

At the suction, P1-103.42 kPa, at the discharge, p2=551.584 kPa. Thge increase in specific internal energy is 78.45 kJ/kg and the heat from air by cooling is 30.173 kJ/kg.
