Chapter 12

Finding power in the wind

Finding Circular Area

Finding Cylindrical Volume

Density of Air = 1.2 kg/m3

Kinetic Energy (K.E)

 


Calculate flow rate of water in m/s to provide certain or needed electric power

 


Betz Limit equation to find power output of a wind turbine

 


Electrical Energy requirements for a water pump to lift water a certain height.

greek letter (rho) = density

density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

g (free fall acceleration on a planet)

How many seconds seconds in one hour?



Calculating the diameter of windmill blades

 


Pumping Water through a height in a period of time.

 


Finding Speed of Sound = c

c = sq root of [ ( k ) ( R ) ( T ) ( 1000 m^2/s^2 / 1(kJ/kg) ) ]

k = specific heat ratio of ideal gas at specified temperature (given)

R = gas constant = 0.287 kJ / (kg * K)

T = temperature in Kelvin

Finding the "Ma" Number #

Ma # = Velocity / Speed of sound = V / C
