Propeller efficiency given thrust Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Propeller Efficiency = (Propeller Thrust*Flight Speed)/Shaft Power
η_p = (T_prop*V)/S_p
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Propeller Efficiency - Propeller efficiency is defined as power produced (propeller power) divided by power applied (engine power).
Propeller Thrust - (Measured in Newton) - Propeller Thrust is the force generated by a rotating propeller, driving an aircraft forward.
Flight Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flight Speed is the velocity of the aircraft with which it is moving through air.
Shaft Power - (Measured in Watt) - Shaft Power is the mechanical power transmitted from one rotating element of a vehicle, ship, and all types of machinery to another.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Propeller Thrust: 1.21 Kilonewton --> 1210 Newton (Check conversion here)
Flight Speed: 101 Meter per Second --> 101 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Shaft Power: 130 Kilowatt --> 130000 Watt (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η_p = (T_prop*V)/S_p --> (1210*101)/130000

Evaluating ... ...

η_p = 0.940076923076923

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.940076923076923 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.940076923076923 ≈ 0.940077 <-- Propeller Efficiency
