Propulsive Efficiency

Performance of the jet locomotive engine is not only if concerned with the thrust produced, but also with the efficient conversion of the heat energy of the fuel into kinetic energy, as represented past the jet velocity, and the best use of this speed to motivate the aircraft second, i.e., the efficiency of the propulsive system.

The efficiency of spiritual rebirth of fuel push to K.E. is termed thermal or internal efficiency and, like every last heat engines, is controlled by the cycle pressure ratio and combustion temperature. Unfortunately, this temperature is limited by the hot and mechanical stresses that can be tolerated by the turbine. The development of radical materials and techniques to minimise these limitations is continually beingness pursued.

The efficiency of conversion of kinetic energy to propulsive work out is termed the propulsive or external efficiency and this is affected by the amount of kinetic energy wasted by the dynamic chemical mechanism. Waste energy dissipated in the jet wake, which represents a loss, can be overt equally [W(v_J – V)²]/2g where (v_J – V) is the waste velocity. It is consequently plain that at the aircraft bring dow speed range the pure jet plane stream wastes substantially more energy than a propellor system and consequently is to a lesser extent efficacious over this range. However, this factor changes every bit aircraft speed increases, because although the super C stream continues to cut at a high speed from the engine its velocity relation to the surrounding atmosphere is low and, in consequence, the waste energy loss is reduced.

Concisely, propulsive efficiency may be expressed as:

$\frac{\text{Work}\text{done}\text{on}\text{the}\text{aircraft}}{\text{Energy}\text{imparted}\text{to}\text{engine}\text{airflow}}$

operating room simply

$\frac{\text{Work}\text{done}}{\text{Mould\hspace{0.5em}done\hspace{0.5em}+\hspace{0.5em}work\hspace{0.5em}wasted\hspace{0.5em}in\hspace{0.5em}exhaust}}$

Work done is the net thrust multiplied by the aircraft cannonball along. Thus, progressing from the net thrust equation given earlier, the following par is arrived at:

$\text{Dynamical}\text{efficiency}=\frac{\text{V}\left[\left({\text{P-P}}_{\text{0}}\right)\text{A}+\frac{\text{W}\left({\text{v}}_{\text{J}}-\text{V}\right)}{\text{g}}\right]}{\text{V}\left[\left({\text{P-P}}_{\text{0}}\right)\text{A}+\frac{\text{W}\left({\text{v}}_{\text{J}}-\text{V}\right)}{\text{g}}\right]+\frac{\text{W}{\left({\text{v}}_{\text{J}}-\text{V}\right)}^2}{2\text{g}}}$

In the instance of an engine operating with a non-choked nozzle, the equivalence becomes:

$\frac{\text{WV}\left({\text{v}}_{\text{J}}\text{-V}\right)}{\text{WV}\left({\text{v}}_{\text{J}}\text{-V}\right)+\frac{1}{2}\text{W}{\left({\text{v}}_{\text{J}}\text{-V}\right)}^2}$

Simplified to: 2V/(V + v_j)

This last mentioned equation can also be victimized for the clogged nozzle condition past using v_J to represent the jet velocity when fully expanded to atmospheric pressure, thereby dispensing with the nozzle insistency term (P – P₀)A.

Presumptuous an aircraft speed (V) of 375 m.p.h. and a jet velocity (v_J) of 1230 m.p.h., the efficiency of a turbo-cat valium is:

$\frac{2\times 375}{600+1230}=\text{approx}.47\%$

On the otherwise hand, at an aircraft speed of 600 m.p.h. the efficiency is:

$\frac{2\times 600}{600+1230}=\text{approx}.66\%$

Propeller efficiency at these values of V is approximately 82 and 55%, respectively, and from reference to Figure 10-9 information technology can be seen that for aircraft designed to operate at oversea level speeds below approximately 400 m.p.h. information technology is many effective to imbibe the great power developed in the jet engine by geartrain it to a propellor instead of using IT directly in the form of a unpolluted jet stream. The disadvantage of the propeller at the high aircraft speeds is its rapid fall bump off in efficiency, attributable shock waves created just about the propeller every bit the blade tip speed approaches Mach 1.0. Advanced propeller engineering science, even so, has produced a multi-foliage, swept back design capable of turning with tip speeds in excess of Ernst Mach 1.0 without loss of propeller efficiency. By using this design of propeller in a contra-rotating constellation, thereby reducing convolution losses, a "property-fan" locomotive, with very good propulsive efficiency capable of operating expeditiously at aircraft speeds in excess of 500 m.p.h. at overseas level, tail be produced.

Figure 10-9. Propelling efficiencies and aircraft speed.

To obtain good dynamic efficiencies without the apply of a complex propeller system, the by-pass principle is used in various forms. With this principle, both part of the complete output is provided away a jet stream other than that which passes through the engine cycle and this is energized by a devotee or a varying number of L.P. compressor stages. This by-pass air is utilized to lower the mean fountain temperature and velocity either by exhausting through a separate propelling nozzle, or away mixing with the turbine stream to exhaust system through a common nozzle.

The propulsive efficiency equation for a high past-pass ratio railway locomotive exhausting through and through isolated nozzles is surrendered below, where W₁ and v_J1 link to the aside-pass function and W₂ and v_J2 to the engine chief function.

$\text{Propulsive}\text{efficiency}=\frac{{\text{W}}_{\text{1}}\text{V}\left({\text{v}}_{{\text{J}}_{\text{1}}}\text{-V}\right)+{\text{W}}_{\text{2}}\text{V}\left({\text{v}}_{{\text{J}}_{\text{2}}}\text{-V}\right)}{{\text{W}}_{\text{1}}\text{V}\left({\text{v}}_{{\text{J}}_{\text{1}}}\text{-V}\right)+{\text{W}}_{\text{2}}\text{V}\left({\text{v}}_{{\text{J}}_{\text{2}}}\text{-V}\right)+\frac{1}{2}{\text{W}}_1{\left({\text{v}}_{{\text{J}}_{\text{1}}}\text{-V}\right)}^2+\frac{1}{2}{\text{W}}_2{\left({\text{v}}_{{\text{J}}_{\text{2}}}\text{-V}\right)}^2}$

Away deliberation, subbing the following values, which will be typical of a high by-give ratio engine of triple-reel configuration, it will be ascertained that a propulsive efficiency of approximately 85% results.

V	=	583 m.p.h
W1	=	492 lb. per sec
W2	=	100 lb. per s
${\text{V}}_{{\text{J}}_1}$	=	781 m.p.h
${\text{V}}_{{\text{J}}_2}$	=	812 m.p.h

Propulsive efficiency can be further improved past using the rear adorned contra-rotating fan shape of the bypass principle. This gives very high by-pass ratios in the society of 15:1, and reduced "get behind" results collect to the engine core being "washed" aside the low velocity aircraft slipstream and not the relatively high velocity fan efflux.

The improved propulsive efficiency of the past-pass system Bridges the efficiency gap between the turbo-propeller engine and the pure turbo-squirt locomotive. A graphical record illustrating the various propulsive efficiencies with aircraft speed is shown in Material body 10-9.

Jet engine design drivers: past, present and future

Propulsive efficiency improvements

Propulsive efficiency depends happening super C velocity (see Fig. 4.9), and can be improved away flared the gas turbine's bypass ratio (BPR). However, high BPR values mean that the additive velocity of the blades could embody high enough at the tip to encounter supersonic flow, and generate shockwaves. This is not an insurmountable job for current engines (with BPR values of about 10), since the inlet diffusers reduce the belt along of the influent air to values close to Ernst Mach 0.4. If attempts are made to addition BPR promote, however, the weight and drag on associated with the fan cowling suit undue. Without the help of the inlet diffuser, it is difficult to ward of shockwaves (in fact, this phenomenon has traditionally limited the maximum Mach number at which propeller-driven aircraft can fly).

4.9. Wave rotor coil hertz.

Given the driving for lower fuel consumption, distinguishable ways of achieving high BPR values are being explored past major manufacturers. Open rotors could potentially be the solution. Open rotor coil configurations eliminate the fan cowling and manipulation advanced aerodynamic design techniques to reduce shock waves at the fan blade tips, allowing large fans to be used in footloose rain bucket conditions and resulting in bypass ratios in excess of 30. However, heart-to-heart rotors have a significant drawback: noise. Without a bonnet to absorb the noise generated by the fan blades, agaze rotor coil configurations canful be acid for some passengers and airport environments. Open rotors were already developed in the 1980s in the USA and Russia, simply the resultant cabin noise prevented them from being adopted at the time. With a far stronger drive for unrefined fuel consumption, open rotors power have a better chance this time. Racket reduction techniques are currently being deliberate, and mutually exclusive engine placement arrangements could allow better noise shielding.

As seen in Fig. 4.8, open rotors and high-temperature technologies could bring almost a 30% improvement in fuel consumption. Considering intercooled–recuperated cycles, in that location is still mint of scope for up the conventional propulsion configuration. By combine current developments in aero gas turbines, airframes, and air travel dealings management, the environmental impact of aviation leave represent lowered significantly within the succeeding two decades.

It would nonetheless be unwise to set our long-terminus goal for aero gas pedal turbine fuel consumption reduction at 30%. Eventide if passenger increment rates only when averaged 4% per annum, IT would only take vii years for an aviation industry based on a 'greener' gas turbine to produce as often CO₂ equally today.

1.5.2 Propulsive Efficiency

Using Eqs. (1.6), (1.9) the propulsive efficiency for a rocket becomes

(1.35) ${\eta }_{\mathrm{p}}=\frac{F{V}_0}{P_{\mathrm{u}}+P_{\mathrm{l}}}=\frac{\dot{m}{V}_e{V}_0}{\dot{m}{V}_e{V}_0+\frac{1}{2}\dot{m}{\left(V_e-V_0\right)}^2}=\frac{2\left(V_0/V_e\right)}{1+{\left(V_0/V_e\right)}^2}$

The variation of propellant efficiency with velocity ratio V ₀/V_e is shown for the rocket salad in Ficus carica. 1.14.

Fig. 1.14. The dynamical efficiency of a roquette compared thereto of the turbojet or propeller as a purpose of the ratio of the flight quicken V ₀ to the speed of the exit jet V_e .

For comparison, the propulsive efficiency of the propeller and turbojet is also shown on the Lapplander reckon. The propulsive efficiency of a skyrocket is seen to constitute greater than that of a turbojet operating theatre propellor at the same value of V ₀/V_e . However, the practical operating cast of V ₀/V_e for the rocket is lower than that of the turbojet which in turn is lower than that of the propeller. As a practical subject then, the propulsive efficiency of the rocket is lower than that of the turbojet which is lower than that of the propeller. The high exhaust speed of the rocket engine results in more power being wasted in accelerating the propellants to produce thrust.

B Propulsor Improvements

In terms of propulsive efficiency and overall economics, a single-screw vessel is preferred to one with three-fold props. However, with incorporative propulsive H.P. requirements, one-woman propellers are no longer able to transmit the power rather as efficiently. Two design alternatives to the acerose single-screw concept are being researched: (1) mounting two contrarotating propellers one behind the other, resulting in a 7-9% melioration in the propulsive coefficient, and (2) mounting the propeller in a schnoz to increase the thrust of the highly crocked propeller for a 7-12% efficiency improvement. The principal problems associated with these systems and necessitating further developmental work are the complexity of the gear systems for the former, and cavitation and vibration problems for the latter.

Gas turbine performance modelling, analytic thinking and optimisation

A.M.Y. Razak , in Modern Gas Turbine Systems, 2013

11.10.2 Turbo-fan

Turbo-jets were first employed in subsonic transport only IT was soon realised that the low propelling efficiency of turbo-blue jets gave rise to high fuel consumption (i.e. fledge speed is not optimised). Agency to improve the propelling efficiency of turbo-jets, and thus fuel consumption, gave rise to the concept of turbo-fan or electrical shunt turbo-jets. Hera the compressor is divided into 2 parts, and the air leaving the first (stage) compressor is split, whereby one portion bypasses the (sum) compressor and is exhausted via a split up or cold schnoz. The core flow is further compressed in the second arrange of the compressor and enters the combustor, where fuel is burnt, and drives the turbine, which produces mightiness to drive the compressors. The energy in the gases leaving the turbine is exhausted through the heart and soul or red-hot nozzle, as shown schematically in Fig. 11.31. Since only when component of the flow of air enters the core of the engine the turbine taxon work has to growth to ply the contraction body of work of the bypass air and this reduces the jet velocity of the hot hooter. As the velocity at exit of the cold nozzle is small, there is increased propulsive efficiency, which straight off improves the fuel consumption.

11.31. Nonrepresentational agency of a turbo-sports fan.

The modelling of the design functioning of a turbo-fan is similar to that of a turbo-K, but the designer has two boost parameters available. These gibe to the sports fan surgery LP compressor pressing ratio or fan pressure ratios (FPR) and the bypass ratio (BPR), which is defined as the ratio of the frigid flow (m_c ) to the core or hot flow (m_h ). Referring to Fig. 11.31 the BPR is given by:

[11.91] $\text{BPR}=\frac{m_c}{m_h}$

The design-point performance depth psychology can embody carried out for a given overall compressor pressure ratio, TET, component efficiencies for a series of short-circuit ratios, and fan blackjack ratios, as shown in Figs 11.32 and 11.33, which evince the variation of sfc and specific thrust with FPR for a series of BPRs. Accretive the FPR initially results in a decrease in sfc followed by an increment, and this is due to the initial improvement in propulsive efficiency at low FPRs, As shown in Common fig. 11.32. However, at higher FPRs there is an increase in sfc, and this is due to the decrease in force efficiency at these high FPRs. A alike trend in specific trust is likewise observed, As shown in Common fig. 11.33 and the FPR when the sfc is a minimum as wel corresponds to the FPR when the unique thrust is a maximum. For a given BPR the fire input is fixed, therefore the minimum sfc and maximal specific squeeze correspond to the equivalent FPR. Other features shown in Figs 11.32 and 11.33 illustrate that the optimum FPR decreases with step-up in BPR. The effectuate of overall pressure ratio and Tet also influences the optimum FPR. It seat be shown that increasing boilers suit pressure reduces the optimal FPR when the sfc is a minimum and the specific lunge is a maximum, while increasing the Tet results in the optimum FPR to increase. For an ideal turbo-fan cycle (i.e. reversible condensation and expansion in the compressors, turbines and nozzles (assuming full expanded nozzles) and assuming the accelerator is ideal) the maximum propulsive efficiency occurs when the sooty velocities of the frore and hot nozzles are equal. However, in a practical cycle per second when so much ideal conditions are absent, the maximum propellent efficiency occurs when the hot nozzle passing jet velocity is somewhat higher than the frigidity nozzle exit jet velocity. Information technology can be seen from Figs 11.32 and 11.33 that the increase in the BPR results in a meaning decrease in specific stab and sfc. Although the decrease in specific thrust results in the increase in engine weight, the decrease in sfc decreases the fuel consumption, and thus fire weight, for a given flight. This is especially crucial for weeklong-cart flights where IT is the weight of the engines and fuel that is influential. This has resulted in engines configured to operate with BPRs high as 9 to cost developed. These advanced engines as wel have overall pressure pressures of the decree of 40:1 and TET of the order of 1800   K at takeoff conditions.

11.32. Variation of SFC with fan pressure ratio for an unmixed and mixed turbo-fan for a series of BPRs.

11.33. Variation of specific thrust with fan blackmail ratio for an unmixed and mixed turbo-fan for a series of BPRs.

The turbo-fan cycle discussed above corresponds to pure jets (i.e. the cold and hot flows have their own or separate wash up nozzles). It is possible to mix the two flows and exhaust the gases through a single nozzle, and such a turbo-fan engine is normally referred to a mixed turbo-fan engine. Mixing effectively increases the cold jet speed spell decrescendo the hot jet velocity, resulting in a let down optimum FPR. In a practical cycle, the lower FPR results in smaller losses repayable to irreversibilities in the compression and expansion processes of the fan and cold nose, and this gives a small simply operative melioration in both sfc and specific thrust. However, for a given set of design parameters, the performance of an ideal mixed turbo-fan cycle (optimum sfc and specific thrust) is selfsame to an sheer turbo-sports fan cycle. The main departure is that the ideal mixed turbo-fan cycle requires a littler FPR, and this result in a simpler and lighter winnow. Figures 11.32 and 11.33 illustrate these features of mixed and plain blue jets, where the mixed performance is shown as circles in these figures. It can be seen that the optimum FPR is less for the mixed turbo-fan cycle, and the difference decreases with pressure ratio. Too, the improvement in performance with the mixed turbo-fan cycle decreases as the BPR increases. The mixing of the refrigerating and hot flows introduces pressure losses, and at high BPRs any do good in performance callable to mixing tail well be lost and the mixing losses for high BPR engines must be tightly controlled. Saravanamutoo et al. (2001) and Frost (1966) gives details happening the pressure loss calculation due to mixing. Today's soprano pass engines rarely use mixed configuration, and high electrical shunt turbo-fan engines primarily use the unmixed shape. In the performance analytic thinking of mixed turbo-fan cycles the gas penning at the entry to the final nozzle will not agree to the products of combustion and the current accelerator makeup is in real time a smorgasbord of air and products of combustion, which can be determined for a given BPR. Low bypass engines, of the Holy Order of 0.5–1, are used aside high speed military aircraft where a small amount of time is spent at supersonic speeds. The Low BPR helps donjon the engine's frontal areas reduced, which is important in minimising the drag in at supersonic speed but helps amend the sfc at subsonic speed where a substantial number of the flight occurs with these aircraft. However, aircraft that lock at uninterrupted supersonic speed, so much as Concorde, a turbo-gush is probably the best option, because at such high airspeeds the propulsive efficiency of turbo-jets is squeaking.

3.3 Optimization

The objective function is taken arsenic a rectilinear compounding of the median thrust coefficient, C_T , and the propulsive efficiency. η, over a flapping period:

(2) $O(C_T\cdot \eta )=(1-\beta )\frac{C_T}{C_T+\epsilon |\overrightarrow{\nabla }{C}_T\cdot \overrightarrow{D}|}+\beta \frac{\eta }{\eta +\epsilon |{\overrightarrow{\nabla }}_{\eta }\cdot \overrightarrow{D}|}$

where

(3) $C_T=\frac{1}{T}{\int }_t^{t+T}{C}_{d}dt,\eta =\frac{C_T{D}_{\infty }}{\frac{1}{T}{\int }_t^{t+T}{\int }_{S}p(\overrightarrow{V}\cdot d\overrightarrow{A})dt}$

where T is the period of the flapping motion. The denominator in the efficiency face accounts for the ordinary work required to maintain the flapping apparent movement, ε denotes the optimization stride size. Note that ß = 0 sets the objective work to the normalized push coefficient.

Optimisation process is supported shadowing the direction of the steepest ascent of the objective function. O. The direction of the steepest ascent is granted past the gradient vector of the objective function:

$\overrightarrow{\nabla }O\left(\overrightarrow{v}\right)=\frac{\partial O}{{\partial V}_1}{\overrightarrow{\upsilon }}_1+\frac{\partial O}{{\partial V}_2}{\overrightarrow{\upsilon }}_2+\cdots$

where V_i 's are the optimization variables, and the ${\overrightarrow{\upsilon }}_i\prime \text{s}$ are the corresponding unit vectors in the variable space.

The components of the gradient vector is then evaluated numerically by computing the objective function for a perturbation of entirely the optimization variables uncomparable at a clip. IT should embody noted that the valuation of these transmitter components requires an unsteady flow solution over a some periods of the flapping motion until a cyclic flow behavior is reached. One time the unit of measurement gradient vector is evaluated, a smaller step, $\mathrm{\Delta }\overrightarrow{S}=\epsilon \frac{\overrightarrow{\nabla }O}{\left|\overrightarrow{\nabla }O\right|}$ , is assumed along the transmitter. This process continues until a local maximum is reached. The stepsize ε is evaluated away a melody search along the slope transmitter.

Thrust augmentation devices

13.1.1 Wake equalizing duct

The Wake Island equalizing duct (References 1 and 2 ) was proposed by Schneekluth and aims to improve the boilers suit propulsive efficiency by reducing the amount of detachment finished the afterbody of the vessel, by helping to establish a more uniform influx into the propeller by accelerating the flow in the upper part of the propeller phonograph record and by attempting to minimize the digressive velocity components in the wake field. In summation, it is claimed that a large diam propeller may be practical in some cases since the wake field is ready-made to a greater extent uniform and hence is potential to bring about to smaller pressure impulses transmitted to the hull. As a aftermath it may be expected that the mean wake fraction and thrustin deduction Crataegus oxycantha be reduced, the last mentioned probably many so, thereby giving rise to moderate increase in Isaac Hull and open water efficiency components of the QPC. There is bantam reason to expect that the relative rotative efficiency component bequeath change significantly in this or any of the other devices recorded in Table 13.1. In indiscriminate it can be expected that the power nest egg with a viewing improvement duct will ride the extent of the flow separation and non-uniformity of the wake field.

This device lends itself to retrofitting on vessels; however, the designs motivation to comprise effected by seasoned personnel office and sooner with the tending of model tests at as large plate as possible, although graduated table effects are uncertain.

Experimental data

Mark Antony F Molland , Stephen R Turnock , in Marine Rudders and Control Surfaces, 2007

5.9 Propulsive effects

When a rudder is situated downstream of a propeller, the mutual interaction of the rudder and propellor determines both the order of magnitude of the forces generated by the rudder and the net propulsive efficiency of the rudder–propeller combination as a overall. A propeller upstream of the rudder accelerates and rotates the inflow onto the rudder, as described in Section 3.5. At the indistinguishable time, the rudder blocks and diverts the flow through the propeller, Figures 3.30 and 3.31, which affects the thrust produced and the torsion developed past the propeller. The practical layout of the Hull, propeller and rudder is driven by a number of factors, as discussed in Section 4.2. Information technology is, nevertheless, found that the rudder position relative to the propellor can have a significant influence on the rudder and propeller characteristics and this should be borne in mind when formulating rudder–propeller arrangements.

The influence of the propellor on the rudder forces for changes in the pure mathematics properties X/D, Y/D and Z/D in Figures 4.8–4.10 Figure 4.8 Figure 4.9 Number 4.10 , were discussed in Segment 5.4. It was seen that significant interactions could take order with changes in X/D Y/D and Z/D.

The influences of a rudder on the propeller characteristics and propulsive efficiency have been studied by a number of investigators including Stiermann [5.85], Suhrbier [5.135], Kracht [5.66, 5.87], Nakatake [5.86] and Molland and Turnock [5.23, 5.38, 5.71, 5.79, 5.80].

Stiermann [5.85] carried out systematic tests in a tank on various propeller–rudder combinations. Three propellers with diameter 240 mm and shift ratios, P/D = 0.6, 1.0 and 1.4 were used. Two rudders, with NACA00 sections and thickness ratios t/c = 0.12 and 0.18, were positioned at three longitudinal locations with X/D = 0.10, 0.30 and 0.50. The rudder was placed on the centreline of the propellor and was at zero incidence for all the tests. The tests were carried over a range of advance ratios, J, and the changes in propeller K _T, K _Q and rudder thrust/drag K _R were rhythmical. The rudder thrust K _R is derived as the difference betwixt the examination results with and without the propeller, the rudder thrust K _R then being the effect of propeller induction only. In this pillow slip rudder thrust is nondimensionalised in the same way as the propellor coefficients as K _R = d/ρn ² D ⁴. Arrested development equations were fitted to the experimental results enabling interpolation and wider manipulation of the information to be made.

Figures 5.143, 5.144 and 5.145 are cross plots of more or less of the information from Stiermann [5.85], illustrating the influences of X/D, t/c and J(K _T /J ²). J values were chosen to give approximately the synoptical K _T /J ² values as those ill-used in references [5.38, 5.71, 5.79, 5.80], namely J values of 0.38, 0.54 and 0.96 which, for the propellor with PID = 1.0, correspond to K _T /J ² values of 2.35, 0.89 and 0.05. With increase in X/D it is seen from Figure 5.143 that rudder thrust increases. This is broadly in tune with the changes in rudder haul/thrust reported in references [5.23, 5.71] and discussed in Section 5.4.2.2, Figure 5.63(d). It is noted that, like the work of Molland and Turnock who old a NACA00 section, the Stiermann information in Physique 5.143 for the thicker NACA0018 section show that a tiny amount of net rudder thrust is produced alone at wide X/D and low J (high thrust loading K _T/J ²). It is seen from Estimate 5.144 that, as X/D increases, ΔK _T and ΔK _Q both fall. With increase in rudder heaviness ratio t/c, the rudder thrust decreases, Figure 5.143, and ΔK _T and ΔK _Q increase by small amounts, Figures 5.144 and 5.145. It was found that, with increase in propeller pitch ratio P/D, the rudder thrust increased at J = 0 and ΔK _T and ΔK _Q also increased. Overall IT was found that, Eastern Samoa the changes in K _Q with change in X/D showed similar trends to the changes in K _T, the net effects on propulsive efficiency are small.

Molland and Turnock carried out systematic variations in the parameters X/D, Y/D and Z/D in the wind up tunnel tests described in Section 5.4.2. The results of these tests for changes in K _T are summarised in Figures 5.146–5.148.

Longitudinal separation (X/D): The modification in K _T with change in X/D is shown in Trope 5.146, which indicates that ΔK _τ increases as X/D is reduced. This tends to equal the converse of the effect of the propellor on the rudder, Section 5.4.2.2. Similar conclusions were reached away Stierman [5.85], discussed in the former section, Nakatake [5.86] and Kracht [5.66]. The results of Molland and Turnock [5.38, 5.79] indicate that these changes in ΔK _T come over a wide range of rudder relative incidence. In general, the final effect of ΔK _T and rudder C _D0 is an increase in boilersuit effective thrust. This can likewise be concluded from inspection of the Stierman data in Figures 5.143 and 5.144.

Lateral separation (Y/D): Changes in K _T as a result of changes in Y/D, for flat X/D, are shown in Figure 5.147. These indicate that there is a world-shattering decrease in ΔK _T as Y/D is increased, with a marked asymmetry between constructive and damaging Y/D.

Vertical position (Z/D): Changes in K _T as a final result of changes in Z/D (for fixed X/D = 0.39 and Y/D = 0) are shown in Figure 5.148. This indicates that as Z/D is decreased, with a reduced amount of the propeller race striking happening the rudder, the mold of rudder blockage decreases and ΔK _T is low significantly. These results are broadly in line with those derived by Surhbier [5.135] who tested rudders not fully inside the propeller race.

The comparative effect of the rudder and propeller is a complicated outcome. The results of the Molland and Turnock tests [5.23, 5.71], look-alike the results of others so much atomic number 3 Stierman [5.85] and English language [5.136], indicate that, A far every bit propulsion is concerned, the rudder and propellor should be doped as a single propulsive unit.

A discussion of the interrelationship between the rudder and propellor, and the influences on public presentation and design, is included in example application 9 in Chapter 11.
