2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define wind energy in your own words.
Think about what wind does and how it's used.
What is the Coriolis effect?
How does the Earth's spin affect movement?
What is the primary source of wind?
Think about what causes air to rise and sink.
True or False: The Betz Limit states that wind turbines can capture all the wind energy.
Remember the maximum efficiency figure I mentioned.
Calculate the potential energy harnessed from wind with a speed of 10 m/s over a rotor area of 50 m², considering efficiency at Betz Limit.
Substitute the numbers and consider Betz Limit for efficiency.
Compare the effects of placing a wind turbine on the hills versus in a valley.
Think about how wind flows differently in both environments.
