A water pumping system is driven by a horizontal axis multi-bladed wind turbine at a power coefficient (Cp) of 0.4. The total pumping head and discharge are 20 m and 15 L sβ1, respectively. The mean wind velocity is 8 m sβ1 and the pump efficiency is 70%. The density of air and water are 1.2 and 1000 kg mβ3, respectively. If the transmission efficiency from wind turbine to the pump is 90%, the required diameter of the wind turbine in m (round off to 2 decimal places) is _______.
Correct : 6.95
