2-12 ‘Wo sites are being considered for wind power geier-
ation. In the first site, the wind blows steadily at 7 mols for

velocity is negligible at other times for simplicity, determine
which is a better site for wind power generation. Hint: Note
that the mass flow rate of air is proportional to wind velocity.
