Question: Problem 2 : The following data were measured for a wind turbine ( HAWT ) : Speed of wind at 1 atm and 2 7

Problem 2: The following data were measured for a wind turbine (HAWT):
Speed of wind at 1 atm and 27C=20ms;
[R=287, Gas constant for Air & 1atm=1.01325105Pa; (Pascal)]
Diameter of rotor =80m;
Speed of rotor =40rpm;
For maximum output:
Interference factor a=13& power coefficient Cpmax=0.593
Calculate the following for maximum output of the turbine.
(i) Tip-speed ratio ()
(ii) Torque coefficient (CTmax)
(iii) Air density at given pressure and temperature ()
(iv) Total power available in wind (Po)
(v) Maximum conceivable rotor torque (TM)
(vi) Torque produced at the shaft (Tshmax)
Problem 2 : The following data were measured for
