Windmills slow the air and cause it to fill a larger channel as it passes through the blades. Consider a circular windmill with a 7-m-diameter rotor in a 8 m/s wind on a day when the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa and the temperature is 20°C. The wind speed behind the windmill is measured at 6.5 m/s. Determine the diameter of the wind channel downstream from the rotor and the power produced by this windmill, presuming that the air is incompressible.
