14 Momentum Theory of Propellers Calculators

Output Power given Rate of Flow through Propeller
Go Output Power = Water Density*Rate of Flow*Flow Velocity*(Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet-Flow Velocity)
Flow Velocity given Power Lost
Go Flow Velocity = Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet-sqrt((Power Loss/(Density of Fluid*Rate of Flow*0.5)))
Rate of Flow through Propeller
Go Rate of Flow through Propeller = (pi/8)*(Diameter of Turbine^2)*(Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet+Flow Velocity)
Rate of Flow given Power Lost
Go Rate of Flow = Power Loss/Density of Fluid*0.5*(Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet-Flow Velocity)^2
Power Lost
Go Power Loss = Density of Fluid*Rate of Flow*0.5*(Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet-Flow Velocity)^2
Flow Velocity given Rate of Flow through Propeller
Go Flow Velocity = (8*Rate of Flow/(pi*Diameter of Turbine^2))-Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet
Flow Velocity given Thrust on Propeller
Go Flow Velocity = -(Thrust Force/(Water Density*Rate of Flow))+Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet
Diameter of Propeller given Thrust on Propeller
Go Diameter of Turbine = sqrt((4/pi)*Thrust Force/Change in Pressure)
Thrust on Propeller
Go Thrust Force = (pi/4)*(Diameter of Turbine^2)*Change in Pressure
Theoretical Propulsive Efficiency
Go Efficiency of Jet = 2/(1+(Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet/Flow Velocity))
Flow Velocity given Theoretical Propulsive efficiency
Go Flow Velocity = Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet/(2/Efficiency of Jet-1)
Output Power given Input Power
Go Output Power = Total Input Power-Power Loss
Power Lost given Input Power
Go Power Loss = Total Input Power-Output Power
Input Power
Go Total Input Power = Output Power+Power Loss

What is Propeller?

A propeller is a device with a rotating hub and radiating blades that are set at a pitch to form a helical spiral, that, when rotated, performs an action which is similar to Archimedes' screw. It transforms rotational power into linear thrust by acting upon a working fluid, such as water or air.

How to Calculate Thrust on Propeller?

Thrust on Propeller calculator uses Thrust Force = (pi/4)*(Diameter of Turbine^2)*Change in Pressure to calculate the Thrust Force, The Thrust on Propeller is defined as total force acting on the propeller due to rotational effect of jet engine. Thrust Force is denoted by Ft symbol.
