What is Shaft power formular

Dear all, pls can somebody help me out with a simplified formular for "Propeller Shaft Power".

Looking forward to a reply?

Regards
Mike

 

Not sure if this is what your looking for but shaft power is power at the prop. If you know the rated horse power then multiply by 7 to get shaft horse power.

 

Yes! i mean shaft power formular or delivered power formular. i have a formular here that states: Shaft power =torque x 2pien. but am in thought of it. the torque=(Rho)Va^2 D^3 X Fq (ND/Va)

in dis form. i dnt knw.
Va=rate of adv,
D=prop diameter.


Any hlp is welcomed.

 

Shaft Hp (shp) = QN/550 where Q is shaft torque in ft-lbs; N = rps (1/sec); 550 is the HP constant.

Effective Hp (ehp) = T*Va/550 where T is the thrust in lbs, Va is the speed of advance in ft/sec.

Q = Kq rho N^2 D^5 where Kq is the torque coefficient from the prop curves at the Advance Coefficient (J = Va/ND)

T = Kt rho N^2 D^4 where Kt is the thrust coefficient from the prop curves at the Advance Coefficient (J)

 

The power gets calculated the same whether it is at the propeller shaft, a crankshaft or any other. It is a function of torque and RPMs. Outboards are rated at shaft HP. If you have an inboard, the rule of thumb is that you have a 3% loss in the gears.

 

Adeyele,
You could also have a look at the excellent and improving ITTC dictionary.

There is a lot in the section on propellers.

Damme Leo;

Now you made me notice a typo...last line should be...

T = Kt rho N^2 D^4 where Kt is the thrust coefficient from the prop curves at the Advance Coefficient (J)
