PROPAGATION OF ERROR You are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in a Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter. The sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m, and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. if the diameter measurement is off by 0.1m and the anemometer reading is also fluctuating by 0.05m/s. In the design specifications given, if the actual measurement of power via the substation amounts to exactly 530kW and given that the windspeed is off by 0.05m/s, what could have been the error in the measurement of diameter? Your answer must be in 3 decimal places and in correct signs and measurement. Show complete solution in paper.

A small low-speed wind tunnel is designed to calibrate hot wires (anemometer wires) (Figure 2). The air temperature is 19 OC. The test section of the wind tunnel is 30 cm in diameter and 30 cm in height. The flow through the test section must be as uniform as possible. The speed range of the wind tunnel varies from 1 M/s to 8 M/S, and the design will be optimized with an airspeed of V= 4.0 M / s in the test section. For a flow state at a speed of 4.0 m/S, which is almost uniform at the entrance to the test section, how fast does the air velocity on the tunnel axis accelerate to the end of the test section?Note: kinematic viscosity of air at 19 C ν=1. 507x10-5 m2 / s
