The Betz optimum efficiency for windmills

  • Seelert, W.

Abstract

The derivation of the power coefficient, cp, by Betz is critically analyzed. This is done within the hydrodynamic model used by Betz. Neither the accepted value, cp = 16/27, nor the Froude theorem can be derived rigorously from the model.
