In the first part of this experiment, the relationship between wind speed and evaporation is investigated. We measure the evaporation under idealized conditions using a small wind tunnel. We then compare our results from the experiment with calculated values for the evaporation over the sea. In the second part of the experiment, we have a look at t...
What do you expect for the evaporation for increasing wind velocities? What should you get for the global evaporation/precipitation? Wind Chill Effect: - Is there a wind chill effect if the body has the same temperature as the environment?
Wind tunnel Velocimeter Evaporimeter Psychrometer Watch: to bring along (with an accuracy of one second) Hot plate
One of the principal modes of heat transfer from an object is convection to the surrounding air. Convective heat transfer increases significantly with increasing air velocity. Thus, a person is cooled at a faster rate under windy conditions than under calm conditions, given equal air temperature. Wind chill is a concept that relates the rate of hea...
In our experiment a cylindrical block of copper simulates the human body. The heat flux through the surface of a body can be derived from the heat balance equation: BS LR=0 (8) with = B heat flux from the core to the surface = S sensible heat flux from the air to the surface L = latent heat flux to the surface R = net radiation at the surface In...

Sep 19, 2019 · Wind is a renewable energy source that uses the power of moving air to generate electricity. Wind turbines use blades to collect the wind’s kinetic energy. Wind flows over the blades creating lift (similar to the effect on airplane wings), which causes the blades to turn.
Jan 24, 2009 · Determine basic configuration: orientation and blade number. take site wind speed and desired power output. Calculate rotor diameter (accounting for efficiency losses) Select tip -speed ratio (higher Æ more complex airfoils, noise) and blade number (higher efficiency with more blades)
