A wind generator with a 30-ft-diameter blade span has a cut-in wind speed (minimum speed for power generation) of 7 mph, at which velocity the turbine generates 0.4 kW of electric power. Determine (a) the efficiency of the wind turbine–generator unit and (b) the horizontal force exerted by the wind on the supporting mast of the wind turbine. What is the effect of doubling the wind velocity to 14 mph on power generation and the force exerted? Assume the efficiency remains the same, and take the density of air to be 0.076 lbm/ft3.
Commercially available large wind turbines have blade span diameters as large as 100 m and generate over 3 MW of electric power at peak design conditions. Consider a wind turbine with a 90 m blade span subjected to 25 km/h steady winds. If the combined turbine generator efficiency of the wind turbine is 32 percent, determine(a) The power generated by the turbine.(b) The horizontal force exerted by the wind on the supporting mast of the turbine.Take the density of air to be 1.2 kg/m3and disregard frictional effects.
A ski lift has a one-way length of 1 km and a vertical rise of 200 m. The chairs are spaced 20 m apart, and each chair can seat three people. The lift is operating at a steady speed of 10 km/h. Neglecting friction and air drag and assuming that the average mass of each loaded chair is 250 kg, determine the power required to operate this ski lift
A 119.23-kg skier starts with an initial speed of 29.22 m/s and coasts up a H=6.10-m-high rise as shown in the figure. If her final speed at the top is 14.35 m/s, what is the angle of the slope in unit of degrees? Assume the coefficient of friction between her skis and the snow is 0.10 (Hint: Find the distance traveled up the incline assuming a straight-line path as shown in the figure.) Use g = 10 m/s2.
An aircraft has a wing area of 20 m2 and whose wings resemble the NACA 23012 with no flaps and is flying horizontally (0° angle of attack) at a constant speed of 250 km/h. To gain height the pilot adjusts the controls so that the angle of attack becomes 10°. Take the density of the air as 1.23 kg/m3. Determine the total power required to execute this action at the same constant speed.
A 40 kg box has an initial velocity of 6 m/s down a 30-degree inclined plane at an initial height of 4 meters. The coefficient of friction between the box and the ground is 0.4. [c] If you increased the angle of the inclined plane, explain how that would affect the work done by friction.
It is said that the speed at which a belt or rope should run to transmit maximum power is that at which the maximum allowable tension is three times the centrifugal tension in the belt or rope at that speed. Is this statement true or false? Give reason for your answer by providing proof for the same.
(a) A 120-lb woman rides a 15-lb bicycle up a 3-percent slope at a constant speed of 5 ft/s. How much power must be developed by the woman? (b) A 180-lb man on an 18-lb bicycle starts down the same slope and maintains a constant speed of 20 ft/s by braking. How much power is dissipated by the brakes? Ignore air resistance and rolling resistance.
A 2-kg car initially moving at 6 m/s at a height of 4 m encounters a hill of height 5 m, as shown in Figure. At a later point there is a horizontal spring (with a spring constant k=150 N/m) at a height of 2 m. (a) Does the car reach the spring? (Hint: Compare the initial total mechanical energy of the car with its potential energy at hill of height 5 m) (b) If so, what is the maximum compression in the spring? Ignore frictional losses and the rotational energy of the wheels.g=9.8 m/s2
Given that the spring is originally compressed 15 cm and has a modulus of 876 N/m. By using an appropriate method, predict the speed of A after it has descended 1.2 m.
A jogger with mass m = 55 kg uses energy at a rate of P = 802 W when she jogs on horizontal ground at a constant speed of s = 3.5 m/s. The efficiency of her “human engine” however, is e = 0.27. (In other words, the power used for locomotion is e = 0.27 times the total power.) Q) Write an expression for the rate of energy expenditure whenshe jogs at the same constant speed up a slope of 4.99 degrees. Assume whatever frictional or drag forces are the same in each case. Your answer should be in terms of the symbols given in the problem statement and g(9.80 m/s^2)
