Propeller Efficiency There are two quantities of interest for propeller:Thrust – [N]Torque – [Nm]In case of propeller, reference pressure is not taken into account when evaluating thrust and torque.Dimensional analysis leads to a definition of propeller coefficients representing its performance. 8.1Torque coefficient ():(8.9) Thrust coefficient ():(8.10) where is the propeller speed [rev/s] and denotes the propeller diamater [m].The efficiency can be evaluated using the supplied power to the propeller ( ) and the useful power output ( ):(8.11)where is the advance ratio and is given as the distance advanced by the propeller in one revolution divided by the propeller diameter, i.e., .
