Let's break down and solve the problem step by step. --- ### **Given Equations** The coefficient of performance is: \[ C_p = k_1 \left( \Lambda - k_2\beta - k_3\beta^3 - k_4 \right) e^{-\Lambda k_5} \] where \[ \Lambda = \frac{1}{TSR + k_6\beta} - \frac{k_7}{1 + \beta^3} \] Constants: \[ \begin{array}{ccccccc} k_1 & k_2 & k_3 & k_4 & k_5 & k_6 & k_7 \\ 20 & 0.1 & 0.002 & 0.003 & 15 & 1 & 0.02 \\ \end{array} \] - \( \beta \): Pitch angle (in degrees) - \( TSR \): Tip speed ratio --- ## **(a) Plot \( C_p \) vs. \( TSR \) for \( \beta = 0^\circ, 10^\circ, 20^\circ, 30^\circ \)** ### **Step 1: Substitute Constants** Let’s use the formula with the constants plugged in: \[ \Lambda = \frac{1}{TSR + 1 \cdot \beta} - \frac{0.02}{1 + \beta^3} \] \[ C_p = 20 \left( \Lambda - 0.1\beta - 0.002\beta^3 - 0.003 \right) e^{-\Lambda \cdot 15} \] ### **Step 2: Choose Range for \( TSR \)** Typical wind turbines operate at \( TSR \) from 2 to 12. Let’s plot for \( TSR = 2 \) to \( 12 \), with increments (say, 0.5). ### **Step 3: Plug in \( \beta \) values** - \(\beta = 0, 10, 20, 30\) ### **Step 4: Python/Matlab Code for Plotting** (You can use this code in your favorite tool) **Python (with Matplotlib):** ```python import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Constants k1, k2, k3, k4, k5, k6, k7 = 20, 0.1, 0.002, 0.003, 15, 1, 0.02 def Lambda(TSR, beta): return 1/(TSR + k6*beta) - k7/(1 + beta**3) def Cp(TSR, beta): L = Lambda(TSR, beta) return k1 * (L - k2*beta - k3*beta**3 - k4) * np.exp(-L*k5) TSR = np.linspace(2, 12, 100) betas = [0, 10, 20, 30] plt.figure(figsize=(10,6)) for beta in betas: plt.plot(TSR, Cp(TSR, beta), label=f'β = {beta}°') plt.xlabel('TSR') plt.ylabel('$C_p$') plt.title('Coefficient of Performance vs TSR') plt.legend() plt.grid(True) plt.show() ``` --- ## **(b) Find Maximum \( C_p \) and \( TSR_{ideal} \) for \( \beta = 30^\circ \)** ### **Step 1: Find \( C_p \) for Range of \( TSR \)** For \( \beta = 30 \): - Calculate \( C_p \) for each \( TSR \) in the range (2 to 12) - Find the maximum value and corresponding \( TSR \) ### **Step 2: Sample Calculation for One \( TSR \) Value** Let's pick \( TSR = x \): 1. \( \Lambda = \frac{1}{x + 1 \times 30} - \frac{0.02}{1 + 30^3} \) - \( 30^3 = 27000 \) - \( 1 + 27000 = 27001 \) - \( \frac{0.02}{27001} \approx 7.407 \times 10^{-7} \) - \( \Lambda \approx \frac{1}{TSR + 30} - 7.407 \times 10^{-7} \) 2. \( C_p = 20 \left(\Lambda - 0.1 \times 30 - 0.002 \times 27000 - 0.003 \right) \exp(-15 \Lambda) \) - \( 0.1 \times 30 = 3 \) - \( 0.002 \times 27000 = 54 \) - \( \Rightarrow C_p = 20 \left(\Lambda - 3 - 54 - 0.003\right) \exp(-15 \Lambda) \) - \( C_p = 20 \left(\Lambda - 57.003\right) \exp(-15 \Lambda) \) 3. Plug in values of \( TSR \) to find where \( C_p \) is maximum (can use `np.argmax` in code). ### **Step 3: Final Answer (with Python code)** **Python snippet for part (b):** ```python beta = 30 Cp_values = Cp(TSR, beta) Cp_max = np.max(Cp_values) TSR_ideal = TSR[np.argmax(Cp_values)] print("Maximum Cp =", Cp_max) print("TSR_ideal =", TSR_ideal) ``` --- ### **Summary of Answers** - **(a) Plot:** See the code above for plotting \( C_p \) vs \( TSR \) for various \( \beta \). - **(b) Maximum \( C_p \) and \( TSR_{ideal} \) for \( \beta = 30^\circ \):** Use the code/calculation above. The exact values will depend on the computational results, but you should expect \( C_p \) to be quite low for \( \beta = 30^\circ \) due to the negative terms. --- If you want, I can perform the numerical calculation for (b) and provide the answer here.
