A report on propeller efficiency should include key factors such as thrust, power input, and propeller design characteristics. It's important to discuss the impact of environmental conditions on efficiency and include performance metrics. Relevant references can be found in academic journals, engineering textbooks, and industry standards related to aerodynamics and marine propulsion. Utilizing online databases and scholarly articles will enhance the report's credibility. Thorough research and accurate data are essential for a comprehensive analysis of propeller efficiency.
A rule of thumb of aircraft engineers is every 10% increase in the power level engines are run at corresponds to a 50% decrease in engine lifetime. This is a general phenomenon of turbomachinery. Then it is likely it also holds for rocket turbopumps.
Then quite key is the rule also holds in reverse, every decrease in power level by 10% can result in doubling the lifetime of the engine. Then by running the engine at 0.9^5 = 0.60 power level can result in 2^5 = 32 times longer lifetime. For...
