Description
Abstract. The so-called Betz limit is commonly used to calculate how much mechanical power can be collected from the wind. According to this limit, no mechanism can capture more than (16/27) of the kinetic energy in the wind flow. In this work, a first principles derivation of the Betz limit is presented. It includes elements of linear momentum transfer in the fluid dynamics context in a collision between a fluid and a solid collector.
