A propeller is rotating with 20 rps has diameter of 2.5m. Calculate thrust produced by the propeller if thrust coefficient is 0.01.

A)
1.2MN
B)
190KN
C)
191.40N
D)
2000kN

Correct Answer :   191.40N

Explanation : Thrust = Thrust coefficient*density*diameter4*rps2 = 0.01*1.225*2.54*202 = 191.40 N.

Determine the propeller efficiency if propeller velocity is 300ft/s and thrust of 1320 lb. Given bhp is 800.
A)
0.03%
B)
0.09%
C)
0.895%
D)
90%

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   90%

Explanation : Propeller efficiency = (thrust*velocity) / (bhp*550) = 1320*300/ (550*800) = 0.9 = 0.9*100 % = 90%.

Determine the required thrust coefficient to produce thrust of 1000N. Given diameter is 1.2m and n=22 rps.
A)
0.1
B)
0.32
C)
0.489
D)
0.813

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   0.813

Explanation : Thrust coefficient = Thrust / (density*diameter4*rps2) = 1000 / (1.225*1.24*222) = 0.813.

If a propeller has bhp of 700 and diameter as 1.2 ft. and rotating with 20 rps then, determine power coefficient. Consider sea level density.
A)
1.8
B)
15.8
C)
30.2
D)
40

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   15.8

Explanation : Power coefficient = 550*bhp / (density*diameter5*rps3)
= 550*700 / (1.225*1.25*203) = 15.8.
