-1. Consider a wind turbine of diameter 52 m. At a wind speed 16 m/s, the wind turbine reaches is maximum power output of 850 kW. What is the coefficient of performance at this wind speed?
2. A wind turbine has the maximum power output at the rated speed of 12 m/s and a rotor diameter of 82 meters. The cut-in and cut-out speeds for this type of wind turbine are 4 m/s and 23 m/s, respectively. The table below shows the annual wind data near a potential site for setting up a wind farm using this type of wind turbine and the power coefficient of the wind turbine at the specific wind speed. The air...
Problem 2 A three-blade wind turbine captures 1.8 MW from wind moving horizontally with respect to the plane. If the upwind speed is 16 m/s and the coefficient of performance is 25%, compute the length of the blade. Assume the density of air is 1 kg/m3.
If the incoming wind speed is at 10 m/s, if the axial induction factor is at optimal value please calculate the wind speed right in front of the wind turbine (U2) and wind speed right after the wind turbine (U3) and wind speed in the far wake (U4).
It is a clear night with a surface wind speed of 2 m/s. There is 100 g/s of a nonreactive pollutant that is released from a stack in a rural area. The physical stack height is 50 meters and there is a heat emission rate of .005 MW. A) Find the plume rise. (delta h) B) Find the ground level concentration 700m directly downwind at ground level.
A linear actuator is required to provide 500 N of thrust at a linear speed of 5 cm/s. A M20-4 lead screw is connected to a large pulley that has a diameter 5 times greater than a smaller pulley on the other end of the belt connected to the motor. If friction causes the system to be only 50% efficient, determine the RPM and torque requirement of the DC motor when meeting the required linear actuator specifications.
An industrial wind turbine has blades that are 35 m long. On a 20?C day, wind at atmospheric pressure blows with a velocity of 12 m/s , and wind in the turbine wake only has a velocity of 11 m/s .(a) If we assume that all of the kinetic energy lost by the wind is converted to electrical energy by the turbine, then what is the power generated by this turbine? (density is 1.205 kg/m^3)(b) This turbine is rated as...

QUESTION 5 A wind turbine is operating in a wind of 10 m/s - that has a density of 1.2 kg/m3. The diameter of the windmill is 4 m. The constant pressure_ (atmospheric) streamline passing the turbine blade tip has a diameter of 3 m upstream of the wind turbine and 4.5 downstream. Assume that the velocity distributions are uniform and the air is incompressible. Determine the thrust due to the wind on the wind turbine. (5 marks)
