-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.
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.
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...

A 19kg disc is rolling at a speed of 2.8 m/s, what is the total kinetic energy of the rolling disc? (the total kinetic energy will consist of linear plus rotational kinetic energy)
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)
You wind a string around the outer rim of a solid disc with a radius of 10.0 cm and a mass of 2.80 kg. The disc sits flat on a frictionless horizontal surface. You pull on the string with a force of 10.0 N for 3.00 s. Note: In this problem the object is not rolling without slipping, so you cannot use v = ωr or a = αr. a) What is the final kinetic energy of the disc? This...
