It is proposed to install a wind driven turbine with a blađe radius of 1.8m. The proposed design has an interference factor of 0.21 and an axial force coefficient of 0.89, and a torque coefficient of 0.8. Determine: a) The expected power output of the turbine. b) Thrust on the turbine. c) Torque on the turbine. d) Rotational speed. Q2: Wind speed measurements at a particular location have been obtained with a view to the possible installation of a wind turbine. The anemometer was located 12.5m above the ground level. The average wind speed recorded during the testing was 9.2m/s. Estimate the variation in wind speed across the 40 m diameter of the proposed turbine if the hub is installed 30m above the ground.arrow_forwardTask 3 Discuss the following scenarios: a) Consider an air compressor that operate under the same conditions over long period of time. How would you compare the volume flow rates of the air at the inlet and exit of the compressor? b) Do you think that the temperature of air will rise as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor? Explain c) Do you think that the temperature of air will drop as it undergoes a steady flow throttling process? Explain.arrow_forward

Since it is a long drive and you are leaving early in the morning, you make sure to check the tire pressure and make sure it is at the recommended level. At lunchtime, you stop for gas and decide to check your car's tire pressure again. You also notice that the tires seem to be a little bit larger than when you left. The driver's manual suggests a pressure between 205 and 220 kPa. Knowing that the tires heat up while driving; do you expect your reading to be high, low or the same as the recommended tire pressure? Why? Since you plan on staying in Moonbeam a while to see the sights, you think it would be best to adjust your tire pressure. What adjustments should be made to your tires? Should you make these adjustments as soon as you arrive, or the following day?arrow_forward

Currently, Red Point produces 1600 valves per day. The 20 workers at Red Point work from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., with 30 minutes off for lunch and a 15-minute break during the morning work session and another at the afternoon work session Red Point is in a competitive industry and needs to increase productivity to stay competitive. They feel that a 20 percent increase is needed. Red Point’s management believes that the 20 percent increase will not be possible without a change in working conditions, so they change work hours. The new schedule calls on workers to work from 7:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m., during which workers can take one hour off at any time of their choosing. Obviously, the number of paid hours is the same as before, but production increases, perhaps because workers are given a bit more control over their workday. After this change, valve production increased to 1800 units per day. a)…arrow_forward
