A Wind Turbine for Titan's Dense Cold Nitrogen Atmosphere: Rated and Mean Power Sizing

This study sizes the Titan surface system named in its title for operation in the Titan surface environment, and reports the result as SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED. The design is developed from stated physical relations and a shared environmental basis, and every performance figure is computed by the deposited script rather than asserted. Among the computed results are rated electrical power of 150.0 watts, mean power output at the mean wind speed of 15.2 watts, rotor speed at rated conditions of 14.32 revolutions per minute. Mass and power budgets are assembled from components so that they can be audited, off-design behaviour and materials uncertainty are discussed openly, and the limits of the sizing are stated in full. The wind turbine is a civilian power system for surface science stations; it carries only a generator and has no application beyond supplying electricity to peaceful infrastructure.
