Thrust on Propeller Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thrust Force = (pi/4)*(Diameter of Turbine^2)*Change in Pressure
Ft = (pi/4)*(D^2)*dP
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Thrust Force - (Measured in Newton) - Thrust Force acting perpendicular to the job piece.
Diameter of Turbine - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Turbine is a typical turbine with a 600 kW electrical generator will typically have a rotor diameter of some 44 meters.
Change in Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Change in Pressure is defined as the difference between final pressure and initial pressure.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Diameter of Turbine: 14.56 Meter --> 14.56 Meter No Conversion Required
Change in Pressure: 3 Pascal --> 3 Pascal No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Ft = (pi/4)*(D^2)*dP --> (pi/4)*(14.56^2)*3

Evaluating ... ...

Ft = 499.49815227604

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

499.49815227604 Newton -->0.49949815227604 Kilonewton (Check conversion here)

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.

How to calculate Thrust on Propeller using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Thrust on Propeller, enter Diameter of Turbine (D) & Change in Pressure (dP) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Thrust on Propeller calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.1E-5 = (pi/4)*(14.56^2)*3.
