The power P generated by a certain windmill design depends upon its diameter D, the air density ????, the air viscosity µ, the wind velocity V, the rotation rate Ωand the number of blades n. (a) Write this relationship in dimensionless form. A model windmill, of diameter 50 cm, develops 3.8 kW at sea level when V  40 m/s and when rotating at 4200 rpm. (b) What power will be developed by a geometrically and dynamically similar prototype, of diameter 15 m, in winds of 35 m/s at 500 m standard altitude from sea level? (c) What is the appropriate rotation rate
