Using the above equations for the thrust loading coefficient and ideal
propeller efficiency, answer the following:
a. Will a larger propeller be more or less efficient than a smaller propeller?
b. Will high thrust and low ship speed give high or low efficiency?
(ii) A ship has the following particulars, displacement 5,000 tonnes, service
speed 20 knots, length of ship 137.16 meters, metacentric height 0.90 m,
mean draught 9.14 meters and centre of gravity above the keel is 6.10 meters.
Determine the angle of heel during turning. How can you quantify the rudder
responsiveness?
