4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the Betz limit state?
Think about maximum efficiency in wind energy.
Define momentum in the context of wind energy.
Consider how wind energy relates to movement.
What is the maximum efficiency a wind turbine can achieve according to the Betz limit?
Consider the theoretical constraint.
Is the Continuity Equation essential for fluid dynamics? (True/False)
Think about how fluids behave.
Given a wind speed of 15 m/s and a rotor diameter of 100m, calculate the power potential using P = 0.5 * ρ * A * v³, where ρ = 1.225 kg/m³. What is the theoretical power output at the Betz limit?
Carefully compute each piece using known formulas.
How would changing the angle of the turbine blades impact the energy capture, using concepts from momentum theory?
Focus on how airflow interacts with the blade angle.
