For a normal windmill-driven pump at 3 m/s wind speed, the yield at a 10 m Head is typically 0.12 liters/s per m2 of rotor area, value windmills in the context of yield.
1Two water pumps are arranged in series. The performance data for both pumps follow the parabolic curve fit Havailable =H0 =aV ^2. For pump 1, H0 =5.30 m and coefficient a =0.0438 m/Lpm^2; for pump 2, H0 =8.70 m and coefficient a =0.0347 m/Lpm^2. In either case, the units ofnet pump head H are m, and the units of capacity V are Lpm.Calculate the combined shutoff head.
