    Good Evening.
    I am having problem deciding the specifications of my propeller, I have already obtained the curves for Resistance and Power vs speed.

    My ship has a Length of 91m, beam of 10.5m and a Draught of 4.5m.
    It is presently run using a 5 bladed 2.8m dia two in number propeller and with a engine capacity of 7200Hp connected to each shaft. The length of shaft line is 18.77m.

    I aim to replace the engine with a motor, the work for which is already in progress.
    The problem comes with the propeller as the Propeller was a N series propeller of which I have no data available.

    Request any help on this.
    Thanks in Advance.

    An engine and a motor are the same thing. Can you explain what the change is?

    I have varying requirement as far as my engine goes and the control parameters for a motor are completely different.
    I require the Torque characteristics of both motor and propeller to match them thereby I have to start from zero.

    In English engine and motor are synonyms. I don't understand what you are talking about as if they are different. Can you explain what you call an engine and a motor?

    Oh sorry my bad, when talking of an engine I was talking of a 18PA6V280MPC , Internal combustion engine, that runs on diesel as fuel.
