How much Megawatts can a motor generate if a 14 kN-m torque transmitted at 5.3 Hz is applied to the 10 mm diameter shaft attached to the motor?
you are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in the Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter; the sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m; and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. What is the theoretical power output of the turbine assuming 100% efficiency of operation? Your answer must be in kW and in two decimal places with correct signs.
a wind energy generator generates 1150w at rated speed of 20mph at the atmospheric pressure and temperature at 20deg c. calculate the change of output if wind generator is operates altitude of 1800m temperature 10deg c.wind speed 30mph,atmospheric pressure 0.88atm.
area=?
power generated for 1800m=?

- 2. Consider the system described in the news: at night, when there is energy left, water is pumped from a large lake to a reservoir at 80 m above the lake level. During the day, this water is used to generate energy in a turbine located 80 m below the elevated reservoir. Considering that the water flow is always 5000 liters/s (both at the inlet of the reservoir and at the outlet) and that the pump and turbine efficiencies are 70%, what is the power (in kW) required by the pump and the power (in kW) recovered in the turbine. Data: The pipe diameter is always the same along the system (d = 0.5 m); g = 10 m/s2; γ = 9810 N/m3.
