Maximum Thrust force in submarine

In summary, the speaker is designing a low scale submarine with a maximum propeller OD of 10 cm and a distance of 5 cm from the center of the shaft to the propeller edge. They are looking to find the maximum thrust in order to pull an object inside a water pipe. They need to determine the optimum rpm, blade number, and propeller design shape for maximum thrust. They mention that the water static pressure is around 5000 PSI and ask for feedback regarding the motor size/power and prop geometry.

I am designing a submarine in low scale that the max propeller OD is 10 cm, means from center of shaft to propeller edge I have around 5 cm distance.
I am trying to find the maximum thrust as this submarine suppose to pull an object inside water pipe.
I need to find optimum rpm ,blade number and propeller design shape to create maximum thrust .
The water static pressure is suppose to be around 5000 PSI.

Many thanks for your feedback

This will depend on motor size/power and, more critically, prop geometry.

Is this a pipeline ?
 

1. What is maximum thrust force in a submarine?

The maximum thrust force in a submarine refers to the maximum amount of force that the submarine's propulsion system can generate. This force is important for controlling the speed and movement of the submarine underwater.

2. How is maximum thrust force calculated in a submarine?

The maximum thrust force in a submarine is calculated by taking into account the power output of the submarine's propulsion system and the drag forces acting on the submarine's hull. This calculation is typically done by engineers during the design and testing phase of a submarine.

3. What factors can affect the maximum thrust force in a submarine?

Several factors can affect the maximum thrust force in a submarine, including the size and design of the submarine, the type of propulsion system used, the condition of the submarine's hull, and the density and viscosity of the water it is operating in.

4. Why is maximum thrust force important in a submarine?

Maximum thrust force is important in a submarine because it determines the speed and maneuverability of the submarine. A higher maximum thrust force allows the submarine to move faster and change direction more quickly, which is crucial for navigating through the water and evading potential threats.

5. How does maximum thrust force differ in different types of submarines?

The maximum thrust force in a submarine can vary depending on the type of submarine and its intended use. For example, a military attack submarine may have a higher maximum thrust force compared to a research submarine, as it needs to be able to maneuver quickly in emergency situations. Additionally, nuclear-powered submarines may have a higher maximum thrust force compared to diesel-electric submarines due to their more powerful propulsion systems.
