A wind turbine with an extraction ratio (torque power/drag power) of 1.34 rotates at 0.39 rad/s in a wind with velocity 20m/s. The disc area is 339 sq m and the torque generated is 817 kNm. Taking air density as 1.29 kg/m/m/m, calculate the advance angle at the blade tip, assuming flow arrives at the disc axially. Express your answer in degrees.
In Batangas, one of its power plant has been thoroughly monitored for a possible conversion into a wind power plant. A propeller wind turbine is to be used. Survey showed that Batangas City has an average air velocity of10km/hr at 30 . The existing power plant has an output of 30MW. For the proposed wind power, the mechanical electrical efficiency is 70%. And the impeller diameter is assumed not more than 10m. Determine the following:a. Theoretical Wind Power Outputb. Electrical Power Outputc. Number of turbines to be installed
An unloaded helicopter of mass 12,000 kg hovers at sea level while it is being loaded. In the unloaded hover mode, the blades rotate at 550 rpm. The horizontal blades above the helicopter cause a 18-m-diameter air mass to move downward at an average velocity proportional to the overhead blade rotational velocity (rpm). A load of 14,000 kg is loaded onto the helicopter, and the helicopter slowly rises. Determine (a) the volumetric airflow rate downdraft that the helicopter generates during unloaded hover and the required power input and (b) the rpm of the helicopter blades to hover with the 14,000-kg load and the required power input. Take the density of atmospheric air to be 1.18 kg/m3. Assume air approaches the blades from the top through a large area with negligible velocity and air is forced by the blades to move down with a uniform velocity through an imaginary cylinder whose base is the blade span area.
