Can Propeller Efficiency be Calculated from Scratch?

Click For Summary
Calculating propeller efficiency from scratch is challenging due to the complexity of the factors involved. Typically, propeller efficiencies are determined through empirical measurements and provided by manufacturers. To assess propeller efficiency accurately, one must consider variables such as vessel speed, water density, and thrust. While it is possible to estimate efficiency using theoretical models, practical measurements yield more reliable data. Ultimately, relying on manufacturer specifications is often the most effective approach for determining propeller efficiency.

Now i am doing study on vessels propeller efficiency which i can determine the best time to do propeller polishing.Do anyone have any idea on how do i calculate this propeller efficiency

Calculate from scratch? That would be a very difficult thing to do. Generally, efficiencies for such things are measured and tabulated by the manufacturer.
 
What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
