The minimum clearance between the blade tip and the tower on a large upwind HAWT is 1.6 m. The tower is tubular with a diameter of 3.0 m. Calculate the percentage reduction in axial wind speed due to tower shadow when a blade passes directly in front of the tower.

Air initially at 0.75 bar, 1000 k, and occupying a volume of 0.12 m^3 undergoes two processes. process 1-2: the air is compressed isothermally until the volume is halved. process 2-3: the air undergoes a constant pressure process until the volume is halved again. assume ideal gas behavior. a) determine the mass of the air, in kg. b) the work and the heat transfer for each of the two processes, in kj. (100 kj = 1 bar . m^3)
