At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 10 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power generation potential of a wind turbine with 60-m-diameter blades at that location. Take the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3. Cengel, Yunus; Cengel, Yunus. Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach (p. 98). McGraw-Hill Higher Education. Kindle Edition.

1767Kw

Explanation:

Velocity of wind = 10 m/s

diameter of the blades= 60m

ρ= air density = 1.25 kg/m3

Acceleration due to gravity= 9.81 m/s^2

Mechanical energy of the wind can be calculated using the expression below

Energy= (e*m)

= ρ V A eeqn(1)

Where A= area

ρ= air density

e= wind energy per unit mass of air

e= (v^2)/2eqn(2)

If we substitute the values into eqn (2) we have

e= [(10)^2]/2

=50J/Kg

But Area=A= (πd^2)/4

Area= ( π× 60^2)/4

Area=2827.8m^2

If we input substitute the values into eqn (1) we have

Energy= 1.25 ×10 × 50×2827.8

=1767145.7W

We can convert to kilo watt

=1767145.7W/ 1000

= 1767Kw

Hence, the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power generation potential of a wind turbine is 1767Kw

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
