Document Summary
Wind and weather report nashville airport. windfinder. com , www. windfinder. com/report/nashville_airport. For this experiment, students made a trip to the windmill generator located on top of the hill at love circle in nashville on november 21st, 2019. It was unique to see a real application of the concepts explored during the duration of the energetics experiments. The instantaneous power output was recorded for 12 trials at around 12 pm this past thursday morning. Table 1: experimental data for love circle windmill generator. Using figure 1 below, the average wind speed was found. At 406w, the wind speed is approximately 5. 5m/s. This wind speed value is equivalent to 12. 3mph as shown in equation 1 below: verage wind speed a. Figure 1 : manufacturer chart showing power versus wind speed[1] Other observations were taken while the experiment was run, specifically in regards to the solar panels. They were facing south, tilting upwards which was what was expected since it was noon.
