A wind turbine is operating in a 12 m/s wind that has a density of 1.2 kg/m

Question:

A wind turbine is operating in a 12 m/s wind that has a density of 1.2 kg/m3. Th e diameter of the turbine silhouette is 4 m. The constant-pressure (atmospheric) streamline has a diameter of 3 m upstream of the windmill and 4.5 m downstream. Assume that the velocity distributions are uniform and the air is incompressible. Determine the force on the wind turbine.

3 m P = Patm 4 m 4.5 m
