It's been a while since I've been in the classroom and I'm having trouble figuring this one out. I'm trying to create a wind turbine and I need to calculate the size of the prop needed to power and electrical generator. For ease of numbers let's say I'm using a 2800watt generator. (http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/6HJ87 )
Max. AC Watts 3000
Rated Watts 2400
HP Required 5
RPM 3600
kVA Rating 2.4
Voltage 120
Amps @ 120V 20
Phase Single
Hz 60
With this information, I'm sure we can calculate the size of the prop that I need to turn it at 3600RPM... I just don't remember how. =)
