Air moves through a wind turbine with radius 13 m at a uniform speed of 10.9 m/s. The density of the air is 1.2 kg/m3. If the power generated is constrained to the Betz's limit, how much power is generated?
Answer in kW with 3 significant figures.
A tank is filled with liquid of density p = 1000 in kg/m^3). Its shape is obtained by rotating the curve y = x ^ 2, 0 <= x <= 2 around the y-axis. Find the work that is required to pump all the liquid out of the tank (from the top of the tank). All the lengths are in units of meter (m). Do not forget to use gravitational constant, g

- Arteriosclerotic plaques forming on the inner wall of arteries can decrease the effective cross-sectional area of an artery. Even small changes in the effective area of an artery can lead to very large changes in the blood pressure in the artery and possibly to the collapse of the blood vessel. Imagine a healthy artery, with blood flow velocity of vo equals 0.14 m/s and mass per volume of p = 1050 kg/m³. The kinetic energy per unit volume of blood is given pv². This is one of the terms in Bernoulli's equation. Imagine that plague has narrowed an artery to 1/10 of its normal cross-sectional area, a 90% blockage. 1 2 by ko = a) Compared to normal blood flow velocity, vo, what is the velocity of blood as it passes through this blockage? b) By what factor does the kinetic energy per unit of blood volume change as the blood passes through this blockage? c) Using Bernoulli's equation as the blood passes through this blockage, what happens to the blood pressure?arrow_forwardA wind turbine has an air density of 1.225 kg/m³ and achieves its rated output of 1 kW at 30 m/h.

During your trip, the average air drag force on you is 13 N, and the rolling friction force is 9 N. Assume 75 kg total mass of yourself and the bike, 20% mechanical energy efficiency in your body, and a BMR of 100 W. How much Calories you have spent to accomplish this? Draw the energy model of the situation! k Hint: "Average air drag force" means that you can use the same value of the air drag over the whole travle distance, for both acceleration stage and motion with a constant speed. We know that the air drag force in fact depends on speed, but since the average value i you do not need to care about it. Calculatarrow_forward
