Energy Systems (Solved Numerical Problems)

Wind at 1 standard atmospheric pressure and \({15^0}C\) has velocity of 15 m/s, calculate (i) the total power density in the wind stream (ii) the maximum obtainable power density (iii) a reasonably obtainable power density (iv) total power (v) torque and axial thrust Given: turbine diameter = 120 m, and turbine operating speed = 40 rpm at maximum efficiency. Propeller type wind turbine is considered. (AMIE Winter 2023) Solution For air, the value of gas constant is R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K 1 atm = 1.01325 x 105 Pa Air density \(\rho  = \frac{P}{{RT}} = \frac{{1.01325x{{10}^5}}}{{287}}(288) = 1.226\,kg/{m^3}\) Total Power \({P_{total}} = \rho A{V_1}^3/2\) Power density \(\begin{array}{l}\frac{{{P_{total}}}}{A} = \frac{1}{2}\rho {V_1}^3\\ = \frac{1}{2}(1.226){(15)^3}\\ = 2068.87{\mkern 1mu} W/{m^2}\end{array}\) Maximum power density \(\begin{array}{l}\frac{{{P_{\max }}}}{A} = \frac{8}{{27}}\rho A{V^3}_1\\ = \frac{8}{{27}}(1.226){(15)^3}\\ = 1226{\mkern 1mu} W/{m^2}\end{array}\) Assuming eff...

Mechanics of Fluids (Solved Numerical Problems)

Numerical The surface Tension of water in contact with air at 20°C is 0.0725 N/m. The pressure inside a droplet of water is to be 0.02 N/cm² greater than the outside pressure. Calculate the diameter of the droplet of water. (7 marks) (AMIE Summer 2023) Solution Surface tension, σ = 0.0725 N/m Pressure intensity, P = 0.02 N/m 2 P = 4σ/d Hence, the Diameter of the dropd = 4 x 0.0725/200 = 1.45 mm Numerical Find the surface tension in a soap bubble of 40 mm diameter when the inside pressure is 2.5 N/m² above atmospheric pressure. (7 marks) (AMIE Summer 2023) Answer: 0.0125 N/m Numerical The pressure outside the droplet of water of diameter 0.04 mm is 10.32 N/cm² (atmospheric pressure). Calculate the pressure within the droplet if surface tension is given as 0.0725 N/m of water. (AMIE Summer 2023, 7 marks) Answer: 0.725 N/cm 2   Numerical An open lank contains water up to a depth of 2 m and above it an oil of specific gravity 0.9 for a depth of 1 m. Find the pressure intensity (i) at t...
