Gear an torque In/Out

Hello, I'd like to understand something about torque and gear,
for the selection of a drive model

I am sure that Rpm speed is divided by reduction ratio, for example 3300 rpm at crank will output 2000rpm at the propeller:

what about Torque? Is it divided by 1,55 also or multiplied? and horsepower?


Thanks

 

If the RPM are reduced, the torque is multiplied by the same ratio. There are frictional losses that depend on gear design, but you can estimate roughly at about 3%.

 

simple question simple answer =) thank you!
so power in hp will be divided also? or it remain the same (less3%) ?

 

Power remains the same less any losses (frictional, oil churning, etc).

 

fine so the gear only trade rpm in torque, and the power remain the same more or less, I also found this torque calculator based on power * speed

is it right for non-electrical engines where performance chart are not linear?

also why permormance charts are not linear? power and fuel use aren't proportional with rpm of the engine?

 

Power = Torque X Rotational Speed (with appropriate unit conversion factor)

Torque = Power / Rotational Speed (with appropriate unit conversion factor)

Rotational Speed = Power / Torque (with appropriate unit conversion factor)

The relationships above hold for any rotating system, including Diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric motors, steam engines, windmills, water wheels, steam turbines, gas turbines and squirrel cages.

Torque varies with speed of the engine which is why power is not proportional to the speed of the engine. Fuel use of an engine depends on a number of factors.
