Agricultural Engineering > GATE 2013 > Wind Pumps
A piston pump is driven by a 5 m diameter horizontal axis wind turbine for supplying water from a borehole with a total pump head of 10 m. The mean velocity of air is 18 km h^{-1} and the density of air is 1.29 kg m^{-3}. The actual power coefficient of the wind turbine is 0.30 and the overall pump efficiency is 60%. Neglecting the transmission losses, the expected pump discharge in L s^{-1} will be
A
2.90
B
5.80
C
28.50
D
32.27

Correct : b
