Determine the speeds for each AE / AO at which PE = PD O R H , and by interpolation or by adding another row for the speed determined from the plot, find J and O , and the corresponding values of P / D from the design chart.

Thus the optimum D and P / D and the corresponding speed for each AE / AO is determined. 3. BLADE AREA

The propeller is designed: Optimum D, P / D Required AE / AO Speed attained V = V A /(1 w) have been determined. 4. BLADE STRENGTH CALCULATIONS

Check for blade strength using classification society rules. Also determine shaft diameter etc. 5. PERFORMANCE ESTIMATION
