The power generated by a wind turbine is proportional to the cube of the wind velocity. Inspired by the acceleration of a fluid in a nozzle, someone proposes to install a reducer casing to capture the wind energy from a larger area and accelerate it before the wind strikes the turbine blades, as shown in Fig. P12??78. Evaluate if the proposed modification should be given a consideration in the design of new wind turbines.
