Show hintHide hint
Think about air entering and exiting the turbine.
Question 2.
What does Bernoulli's Principle state?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how speed and pressure interact in airflow.
3Question 3.
The continuity equation primarily deals with which of the following?
- A. Energy conversion
- B. Mass flow
- C. Air pressure
Show hintHide hint
Think about what stays constant in a closed system.
4Question 4.

- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how fluids behave when they're in motion.
Question 5.
Design a wind turbine for a coastal location with variable wind speeds. Discuss how the continuity equation would affect your design choices.
Show hintHide hint
Consider environmental impact and expected airflow dynamics.
Question 6.
Calculate the mass flow rate of air passing through a turbine with a rotor diameter of 100m and wind speed of 10 m/s. How does this relate to the continuity equation?
