On the propeller, JavaProp software was used. This software were Propeller name, Propeller Diameter, Spinner Hub) Diameter, Speed of rotation, axial inflow Speed, Number of blades and Thrust/power/torque required. For these input parameters as shown in Table I, the output obtained in JavaProp are as shown in Table II. Propeller Pro Datetimepicker is built by using the popular Bootstrap 4 Datetimepicker plugin as a based and applying Google’s Material Design principles to it. Datetimepicker component allows the user to select a date from a calendar and time from a visual analog clock; it also accepts values via direct input. We therefore consider the wake speed relative to the propeller center v w in m/s, as follows,: (19) v w (t) = ζ ω wv e k w z cos α wk (t) (20) d α wk (t) dt = k w v s (t) + ω wv (21) k w = ω wv 2 g, where ζ is the significant wave amplitude in m, ω wv is the wave radial frequency in rad/s, k w is the wave number in 1/m, z is the water.

- 11.7.4 Dimensional Analysis
In this section we will examine propeller engines. Examples of propeller-powered vehicles are shown in Figures 11.22 and 11.23.
11.7.1 Overview of propeller performance
Each propeller blade is a rotating airfoil which produces lift and drag, and because of a (complex helical) trailing vortex system has an induced upwash and an induced downwash. Figure 11.24 shows a schematic of a propeller.
The two quantities of interest are the thrust ( )11.1 and the torque ( ). We can write expressions for these for a small radial element ( ) on one of the blades:
where
and
It is possible to integrate the relationships as a function of with the appropriate lift and drag coefficients for the local airfoil shape, but determining the induced upwash ( ) is difficult because of the complex helical nature of the trailing vortex system. In order to learn about the details of propeller design, it is necessary to do this. However, for our purposes, we can learn about the overall performance features using the integral momentum theorem, some further approximations called ``actuator disk theory,' and dimensional analysis.
11.7.2 Application of the Integral Momentum Theorem to Propellers
The control volume shown in Figure 11.25 has been drawn far enough from the device so that the pressure is everywhere equal to a constant. This is not required, but it makes it more convenient to apply the integral momentum theorem. We will also assume that the flow outside of the propeller streamtube does not have any change in total pressure. Then since the flow is steady we apply:
Since the pressure forces everywhere are balanced, then the only force on the control volume is due to the change in momentum flux across its boundaries. Thus by inspection, we can say that
We can arrive at the same result in a step-by-step manner as we did for the jet engine example previously:
Note that the last term is identically equal to zero by conservation of mass. If the mass flow in and out of the propeller streamtube are the same (as we have defined), then the net mass flux into the rest of the control volume must also be zero.
So we have:
as we reasoned before. The power expended is equal to the power imparted to the fluid which is the change in kinetic energy of the flow as it passes through the propeller,
The propulsive power - the rate at which useful work is done - is the thrust multiplied by the flight velocity:
The propulsive efficiency is then the ratio of these two:
This is the same expression as we arrived at before for the jet engine (as you might have expected).
11.7.3 Actuator Disk Theory
To understand more about the performance of propellers, and to relate this performance to simple design parameters, we will apply actuator disk theory. We model the flow through the propeller as shown in Figure 11.26 and make the following assumptions:
- Neglect rotation imparted to the flow.
- Assume the Mach number is low so that the flow behaves as an incompressible fluid.
- Assume the flow outside the propeller streamtube has constant stagnation pressure (no work is imparted to it).
- Assume that the flow is steady. Smear out the moving blades so they are one thin steady disk that has approximately the same effect on the flow as the moving blades (the ``actuator disk').
- Across the actuator disk, assume that the pressure changes discontinuously, but the velocity varies in a continuous manner.
We then take a control volume around the disk as shown in Figure 11.27.
The force, , on the disk is
so the power is
We also know that the power is
Thus we see that the velocity at the disk is
Half of the axial velocity change occurs upstream of the disk and half occurs downstream of the disk.
We can now find the pressure upstream and downstream of the disk by applying the Bernoulli equation in the regions of the flow where the pressure and velocity are varying continuously:
and |
from which we can determine
We generally don't measure or control directly. Therefore, it is more useful to write our expressions in terms of flight velocity , thrust, , (which must equal drag for steady level flight) and propeller disk area, .
so
from which we can obtain an expression for the exit velocity in terms of thrust and flight velocity, which are vehicle parameters:
The other parameters of interest become
and
This is the ideal (minimum) power required to drive the propeller. In general, the actual power required would be about 15% greater than this. Lastly, the propulsive efficiency is
There are several important trends that are apparent upon consideration of these equations. We see that the propulsive efficiency is zero when the flight velocity is zero (no useful work, just a force), and tends towards one when the flight velocity increases. In practice, the propulsive efficiency typically peaks at a level of around 0.8 for a propeller before various aerodynamic effects act to decay its performance as will be shown in the following section.
11.7.4 Dimensional Analysis
We will now use dimensional analysis to arrive at a few important parameters for the design and choice of a propeller. Dimensional analysis leads to a number of coefficients which are useful for presenting performance data for propellers.
Parameter | Symbol | Units |
propeller diameter | D | m |
propeller speed | n | rev/s |
torque | Q | Nm |
thrust | T | N |
fluid density | kg/m3 | |
fluid viscosity | m2/s | |
fluid bulk elasticity modulus | K | N/m2 |
flight velocity | m/s |
11.7.4.1 Thrust Coefficient
Then putting this in dimensional form
where is a unit of mass, is a unit of length, and here is a unit of time. Dimensional consistency requires
So
We can now consider the three terms in the square brackets.
This last coefficient is typically called the advance ratio and given the symbol . Thus we see that the thrust may be written as
which is often expressed as
where is called the thrust coefficient and in general is a function of propeller design, Re, and .
11.7.4.2 Torque Coefficient
We can follow the same steps to arrive at a relevant expression and functional dependence for the torque or apply physical reasoning. Since torque is a force multiplied by a length, it follows that
where is called the torque coefficient and in general is a function of propeller design, Re, , and .

The power supplied to the propeller is where
The useful power output is where
