Consider a 150 kW, 30 m diameter horizontal axis, fixed speed wind turbine operating in a wind speed of 9 m/s. Two blades mounted on a cast iron hub drive a generator through a gearbox with a shaft speed ratio of 1: 50. If the speed of the shaft rotates at a rate of 45 rpm, calculate the power coefficient, the rotor tip speed and the torque on the generator shaft after c

An air conditioning system consist of a 5 cm diameter pipe, operating at a pressure of 200 kpa. the air initially enters the pipe at 15°c with a velocity of 20 m/s and relative humidity of 80%. if the heat supply throughout the process is 960 w, determine the relative humidity and the temperature at the outlet

Asolid cylinder is concentric with a straight pipe. the cylinder is 0.5 m long and has an outside diameter of 8 cm. the pipe has an inside diameter of 8.5 cm. the annulus between the cylinder ad the pipe contains stationary oil. the oil has a specific gravity of 0.92 and a kinematic viscosity of 5.57 x 10-4 m2/s. most nearly, what is the force needed to move the cylinder along the pipe at a constant velocity of 1 m/s?

Agas mixture consists of 8 kmol of h2 and 2 kmol of n2. determine the mass of each gas and the apparent gas constant of the mixture.
