Introduction

Mechanics is a branch of physical science that deals with moving and stationary bodies influenced by forces. It is divided into two branches called dynamics and statics. Dynamics deals with moving bodies while statics deals resting bodies
Mechanics also has a subcategory called fluid mechanics. Fluid mechanics is the science concerning the behavior of fluids. It could be fluid statics when it tackles about the body at rest. On the other hand, it could be fluid dynamics when the fluid body being studied is in motion.
Fluid mechanics is a study regarding the behavior of material that can bend and ...

Need

While windmill technology is appropriate for generating clean and renewable energy, its practicability is limited by seasonal nature of the power generating because of fluctuations in wind (Kumar & John, 2012). Windmills are installed in specific places. The output of the turbine in the windmill is dependent on the availability of wind to turn the turbine (Kumar & John, 2012). In addition, there is need for more renewable sources of energy to avoid the depletion of the fossil fuels. In another viewpoint, cleaner sources of energy are in keeping with the resolve to reverse the effects of global warming. Generating electricity ...
