1. The recorded wind speeds of a wind site are one-third of
the year is at 15 mph, one-sixth
of the year is at 25 mph and the one-half of the year is at 20
mph. Determine the annual
average speed at this location. If the diameter of the wind
turbine is 50 ft and annual
average power coefficient is 0.35, determine the amount power
can be generated per year.
If the utility can pay $0.1 /kwh and the overall operating
hours is about 2500 hours per
year and the wind turbine cost $45,000 with 30% tax incentive,
how long will the system
be payback? (Air density = 0.0763 lb/ft3
)

Wind Tunnel Experiment:
1. Using the manometer measurements, determine the two speeds
with which the wind tunnel was operated. (1 mark)
2. Discuss how changes in Reynolds Number affect the flow
separation and provide a source that supports your suggestion.
(2 mark)
3. Discuss how the angle which separated flow is achieved varies
for each tuft depending on its location and explain why this is
occurring.

At wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec significant sand-moving events
begin to occur. In particular, wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move
sand to new locations. The cyclic nature of wind and moving sand
determines the shape and location of large sand dunes. At one test
site, the prevailing direction of the wind did not change. However,
the speed did change. Sixty wind speed readings gave an average
speed of 1075 cm/sec. From long term experience, it can be assumed
that =265...

A major hurricane is a hurricane with wind speeds of 111 miles
per hour or greater. During the last century, the mean number of
major hurricanes to strike a certain country's mainland per year
was about 0.59 Find the probability that in a given year (a)
exactly one major hurricane will strike the mainland, (b) at most
one major hurricane will strike the mainland, and (c) more than
one major hurricane will strike the mainland.
