A newly designed wind turbine has three, 75-m long blades. On a sunny day, the turbine is operating such that it is rotating at 11 rev/min. If the tips of the blades follow a circular path, what is the speed of the tips of the blades as the turbine rotates?
2 (b) A blade of a wind turbine can be considered as a thin rod, of mass m, length a and cross- sectional area A. (i) Show that the moment of inertia of the blade about an axis passing through its centre of mass and perpendicular to its length is 1 = izma? [8] (ii) By applying the parallel axis theorem or otherwise, deduce the moment of inertia of the blade about an axis passing through one end of the...
A windmill has three blades that can extend or retract depending on the wind speed. Each blade can be approximated by a rod with a mass of 270 kg that is fixed at one end. The moment of inertia of each blade is 1/3 ML2, where L is the length of the blade. Each blade is 9.0 m long. Calculate the total moment of inertia of the windmill. The wind causes the windmill to rotate with a constant speed in...
The blades on modern wind turbines are typically 20 to 40 meters in length. Two different turbines have their blades attached with one end at the center of rotation. Consider two points, each at the outer end of a blade on each of the turbines: one with a blade length of 23.6 m, and the other with a blade length of 37.2 m. Each blade is rotating with a constant angular speed of 3.93 rad/s, and the rotation is considered...
A wind turbine has 12,000 kg blades that are 41 m long. The blades spin at 22 rpm . If we model a blade as a point mass at the midpoint of the blade, what is the inward force necessary to provide each blade's centripetal acceleration?

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.
14. A giant wind turbine generates electrical power with three blades with a diameter of 145 m, and are designed to run safely when the outer end of a blade is moving at around 10 m/s. a. The wind turbine is allowed to begin spinning from rest up to its maximum safe speed over the course of 150 seconds. If this happens at a uniform rate, what is the angular acceleration of the blades, in radians per second? b. After...
1. Calculate the centripetal force on the end of a 100 m (radius) wind turbine blade that is rotating at 0.5 rev/s. Assume the mass is 4 kg. 2. Compute the ideal banking angle for a gentle turn of 1.00 km radius on a highway with a 110 km/h speed limit, assuming everyone travels at the limit?
. A typical commercial wind turbine costs approximately $2 million per MW of installed power and requires 5.76 TJ per million dollars of energy to manufacture the wind turbine. (a) Calculate the amount of energy that is consumed (i.e. energy invested) in the manufacture ofa 1.5 MW wind turbine, assuming that turbine manufacture requires 5.76 TJ per million dollars spent. (TJ Tera-joules 1012 joules) (b) If the wind turbine has blades that are 40 meters (radius) long and the average...
