Theoretical Propulsive Efficiency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Efficiency of Jet = 2/(1+(Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet/Flow Velocity))
η = 2/(1+(V/V_f))
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.
Flow Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flow Velocity is the velocity of the flow of any fluid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
