Solution Naval Numerical 29

Numerical 29:  A propeller 4.6m diameter has a pitch of 4.3m and boss diameter of 0.75. The real slip is 28% at 95 rev/min. Calculate the speed of advance, thrust and thrust power.
Solution: Given diameter of propeller =4.6m
Pitch =4.3m
boss dia =0.75m
real slip =28%
RPM =95rev/min
to find Va, T and tp
Theoretical speed Vt=
Vt =


Vt=13.23knots


Real slip=


0.28=


Va=13.23(1-0.28)


Va=9.53knots
Estimated disc area A=


Put D=4.6 and d=0.75


=16.18m2


Thrust =
T = 


T = 215.2kN


Thrust power = T x Va
=215.2 x 9.53 x 1852/3600
tp =1055 kW
