Can someone help me understand how to solve dimensionless equations?
Ex. Wind energy uses large fans to extract energy form the wind and turn it into electric power. In the expression below (P) is the power, η is the efficiency,ρ is the density of the air, A is the area swept out by the fan blades, v is the velocity of the wind.
P=η ρA^2v^2
P=η squareroot of ρAv^3

Are these equations valid or invalid?
