Question: The design month values for sizing a wind pumping system are as follows: Total pumped head = 1 8 m Volumetric flow rate = 0

The design month values for sizing a wind pumping system are as follows:
Total pumped head =18 m
Volumetric flow rate =0.0015 m3s-1
Average monthly wind speed =5.9 m s-1
Estimated mean windpump efficiency =16%
Calculate the diameter of the rotor of the windpump (in m, to 2 d.p.) needed to meet the design month values.
{In this location, the density of air is 1.23 kgm-3 the density of water is 1000 kgm-3 and gravitational acceleration is 9.81 ms-2}
