Wind turbine momentum theory without and with wake
2 videos • 142 views • by Amit Mandal Newton's II law of motion says that rate of change of momentum is the applied force. When the same law is applied on wind turbine then it is called as momentum theory of wind turbine. In First lecture viewer can learn the momentum theory and connected derivations (Without wake formation). The viewer will also learn the concept of Betz limit i.e., the maximum efficiency of a wind turbine can be 59.3%. The concept of axial induction factor is also demonstrated. The lecture is simple and easy to understand Furthermore, When Newton's second law of motion is applied on rotational motion then it becomes the rate of change of angular momentum is applied torque. In second lecture the same theory is applied on a wind turbine (Considering the formation of wake). The concept of angular induction factor is demonstrated and connected derivations are explained in an easy to understand way.
