The wind turbine-generator shown has an output-power rating of 1.5 MW for a wind speed of 36

Question:

The wind turbine-generator shown has an output-power rating of 1.5 MW for a wind speed of 36 km/h. For the given wind speed, determine (a) the kinetic energy of the air particles entering the 82.5-m-diameter circle per second, (b) the efficiency of this energy conversion system. Assume ρ = 1.21 kg/m3 for air.
