Water flow and propeller speed

AI Thread Summary
To determine the RPM of a fixed-mounted propeller in a water flow, key parameters such as water velocity and propeller design must be considered. The discussion emphasizes the need for references and calculations to establish a relationship between water flow and propeller speed. The user seeks to design a propeller specifically for a project involving flow meters, focusing solely on achieving a desired RPM without delving into power or torque calculations. Basic formulas related to propeller dynamics and fluid mechanics are essential for this design process. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of understanding the interaction between water flow and propeller performance.

hi everyone!
need some help about propellers..say i have a fixed mounted propeller and a flow of water with known velocity runs through it.. what would be the rpm of the propeller??.. i know there a re lots of things and parameters to consider... i need some good references, calculations ,and basic formulas..thanks!..any help would be appreciated..

Regards,

im having a special project in flow meters and i want to design a propeller that provides RPM given a velocity of incoming water.. so i can disregard power, lift,drag,torque calculations..or what should i do?...all i want to have is the parameters of the propeller that provides the designed RPM..thanks
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
