4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the continuity equation describe?
Think about air entering and exiting the turbine.
What is the Betz Limit?
It represents a theoretical cap on efficiency.
What is the maximum efficiency a wind turbine can achieve according to the Betz Limit?
Remember the percentage discussed in class.
True or False: The continuity equation applies to all fluid flow scenarios.
Think about how this might work across various examples.
A wind turbine is situated in a location where the average wind speed is 12 m/s. If the turbine has a rotor diameter of 60 meters, determine the theoretical maximum power output using the Betz Limit.
Use the energy equation and substitute the air density appropriately.
Explain how an increase in air temperature affects wind density and subsequently impacts turbine performance based on the principles you learned.
Refer to how density affects the continuity equation.
