Wind Power Plant Flashcards
1
Q
Pump Power, WP
A
[SW_water * Q * H]/e_p
Q = volume flow rate
H = net head
e_p = pump efficiency
SW = specific weight of water
2
Q
Kinetic Energy, KE
A
1/2[m_a*v_a^2]
v_a = average velocity of air
3
Q
Volume of air, V_a
A
PV=mRT
[π/4]D^2*v_air
v_air = velocity of air
4
Q
Aerodynamic Efficiency, e_a
A
WP/KE
