At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 7 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power generation potential of a wind turbine with 80-m-diameter blades at that location. Also determine the actual electric power generation assuming an overall efficiency of 30 percent. Take the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3.

Explanation:

From the information given;

The velocity of the wind blow V = 7 m/s

The diameter of the blades  (d) = 80 m

Percentage of the overall efficiency

The density of air

Then, we can use the concept of the kinetic energy of the wind blowing to estimate the mechanic energy of air per unit mass by using the formula:

here;

m =

=

= 43982.29 kg/s

∴

The actual electric power is:
