Question
Q8. A model propeller of mean pitch 0.4 m, is tested in a tank under conditions of constant speed of advance 2 m/s in fresh water of density 1000 kg/m3 and the results for a range of rotational speeds are as shown in Table Q6.
Revs/sec | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
Thrust (N) | 165 | 245 | 355 | 490 | 685 |
Torque (Nm) | 13.5 | 16.0 | 23.5 | 34.4 | 52.2 |
