Efficiency of Propulsion Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Efficiency of Jet = 2*Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet*Velocity of Ship/((Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet+Velocity of Ship)^2)
η = 2*V*u/((V+u)^2)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Efficiency of Jet - Efficiency of Jet is an electric motor is defined as the ratio of usable shaft power to electric input power.
Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet is actual velocity of jet used in propeller.
Velocity of Ship - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of Ship is velocity of jet in ship that makes it move.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet: 6 Meter per Second --> 6 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Velocity of Ship: 4.1 Meter per Second --> 4.1 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

What is Propulsion ?

Propulsion is the action or process of pushing or pulling to drive an object forward. The term is derived from two Latin words: pro, meaning before or forward; and pellere, meaning to drive. A propulsion system consists of a source of mechanical power, and a proposer.

How to Calculate Efficiency of Propulsion?

Efficiency of Propulsion calculator uses Efficiency of Jet = 2*Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet*Velocity of Ship/((Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet+Velocity of Ship)^2) to calculate the Efficiency of Jet, The Efficiency of Propulsion is defined as the effectiveness and productivity of a propulsion system in converting energy into forward motion, typically measured by the ratio of useful work output to the energy input. Efficiency of Jet is denoted by η symbol.

How to calculate Efficiency of Propulsion using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Efficiency of Propulsion, enter Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet (V) & Velocity of Ship (u) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Efficiency of Propulsion calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.350677 = 2*6*4.1/((6+4.1)^2).

FAQ

What is Efficiency of Propulsion?

The Efficiency of Propulsion is defined as the effectiveness and productivity of a propulsion system in converting energy into forward motion, typically measured by the ratio of useful work output to the energy input and is represented as η = 2*V*u/((V+u)^2) or Efficiency of Jet = 2*Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet*Velocity of Ship/((Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet+Velocity of Ship)^2). Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet is actual velocity of jet used in propeller & Velocity of Ship is velocity of jet in ship that makes it move.

How to calculate Efficiency of Propulsion?
