In the field of air pollution control, one often needs to sample the quality of a moving airstream. In such measurements a sampling probe is aligned with the flow as sketched in Fig. A suction pump draws air through the probe at volume flow rate V· as sketched. For accurate sampling, the air speed through the probe should be the same as that of the airstream (isokinetic sampling). However, if the applied suction is too large, as sketched in Fig, the air speed through the probe is greater than that of the airstream (super iso kinetic sampling). For simplicity consider a two-dimensional case in which the sampling probe height is h = 4.58 mm and its width is W = 39.5 mm. The values of the stream function corresponding to the lower and upper dividing streamlines are ?l = 0.093 m2/s and ?u = 0.150 m2/s, respectively. Calculate the volume flow rate through the probe (in units of m3/s) and the average speed of the air sucked through the probe.

A small low-speed wind tunnel is designed to calibrate hot wires (anemometer wires) (Figure 2). The air temperature is 19 OC. The test section of the wind tunnel is 30 cm in diameter and 30 cm in height. The flow through the test section must be as uniform as possible. The speed range of the wind tunnel varies from 1 M/s to 8 M/S, and the design will be optimized with an airspeed of V= 4.0 M / s in the test section. For a flow state at a speed of 4.0 m/S, which is almost uniform at the entrance to the test section, how fast does the air velocity on the tunnel axis accelerate to the end of the test section?Note: kinematic viscosity of air at 19 C ν=1. 507x10-5 m2 / s

PROPAGATION OF ERROR You are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in a Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter. The sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m, and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. What is the theoretical power output of the turbine assuming 100% efficiency of operation? Your answer must be in kW and in two decimal places with correct signs.
