Mechanical Engineering
a. In calculating the maximum possible power production of a wind turbine (Carlin’s method) show that the integral
where the characteristic wind velocity
b. Determine the maximum idealized power output using Carlin’s formula for a turbine of 28 m diameter in a wind regime with an average wind speed of 10 m/s and an air density of 1.22 kg/m3.
