Question

A propeller type, horizontal axis wind turbine having following wind
characteristics: Speed of the wind 10 m/s at 150 C, The turbine has diameter
of 120 m and its operating speed is 40 rpm at maximum efficiency.
Calculate (i) the total power density in the wind stream (ii) the maximum
obtainable power density assuming wind power coefficient as 40% (iii)
total power produced in kW (iv) Maximum thrust and axial thrust.
[Ans: 613 W/m2
, 2771 kW, 6930 kW, 619.9510 kN, 897 kN] explain the axial thrust part clearly how 897 KN is coming
