Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

Mass of the air=14kg

Diameter of the rotor (D)=88m

Swept area A=π×8824=6082.123m2

Power available at the rotor of the wind turbine Pavail=673kW

The density of the air (ρ)=1.23kg/m3

Power coefficient Cf=0.59

Solution:

Using the equation of available power we can find wind velocity V

Therefore,

Pavail=12ρAV3Cf673×103=12×1.23×π×8824×V3×0.59V=6.73m/s
