Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A turbine design aims to maximize lift based on Bernoulli's Principle. If the blade angle is adjusted to create an optimal pressure drop, calculate how the lift would change with varying wind speeds.
💡 Hint: Consider how the lift force equation can integrate airflow changes.
Describe a situation where the turbine blades stall due to an adverse pressure differential and how that affects energy production.
💡 Hint: Reflect on the angle of attack and its impact on airflow.
