Answer: B
- If typical overall efficiency of savonius windmills is 7-10%, what is the typical overall efficiency of aerogenerators?
A. 7-10%
B. 15-17%
C. 18-21%
D. 90-95%
Answer: D
- If a multi-bladed windpump has a tip-speed ratio of 1:1, what windspeed is needed to have its rotor tip move at
- 2 m/s?
A. 1 m/s
B. 3 m/s
C. 1 ft/s
D. 3 ft/s
Answer: B
Solution:
Windspeed = tip speed, since tip-speed ratio is 1:1
= 3.2 m/s
