A wind turbine with a blade diameter of 25 m is to be installed in a location where average wind velocity is 6 m/s. If the overall efficiency of the turbine is 34 percent, determine (a) the average electric power output, (b) the amount of electricity produced from this turbine for an annual operating hours of 8000 h, and (c) the revenue generated if the electricity is sold at a price of $0.09/kWh. Take the density of air to be 1.3 kg/m³.
