* * 7.8 PROPELLERS 30 HUB ROOT BLADE TIP TIP CIRCLE ROTATION LEADING EDGE TRAILING EDGE PRESSURE FACE SUCTION BACK Screw Propeller PROPELLER DISC 37 Some Definitions Pitch -Theoretical distance a propeller would move in one revolution Tip Circle- Circle described by the blade tip rotation Propeller Disc- The area circumscribed by the propeller’s tip circle Leading Edge- Forward edge of the blade, first to encounter the water stream Trailing Edge- Last part of the blade to encounter the water stream Pressure Face- The high pressure side of the propeller blade (the back side as the propeller advances) Suction Back- The low pressure side of the propeller blade (the front side as the propeller advances) Screw Propeller 18 Hub pitch diameter The distance that the blade travels in one revolution, P - measured in feet Propeller Pitch 57 Propeller Pitch Angle The pitch angle relates the pitch length to the circumference of the propeller blade: tan f = P 2pr … Pitch angle f is the angle that any part of the blade makes perpendicular with the water flow 6 Types of Propeller Pitch WITH REGARD TO THE BLADE SHAPE: 1. Constant Pitch- - The pitch angle does not change, it is the same at the root as at the tip of the blade, but the pitch will vary 2. Variable Pitch- The pitch angle changes as the distance from the root changes (f is defined at a blade radius of .7r) 11 tan f = P 2pr WITH REGARD TO THE BLADE MOUNTING ON THE HUB: 3. Fixed Pitch- The blade is permanently attached to the hub and cannot change 4. Controllable Pitch- The position of the blade can be altered while the blade rotates, thereby changing the pitch angle Left hand screw - Rotates Counter Clock-wise when viewed from astern - Single screw ships use this type Right hand screw - Rotates Clock-wise when viewed from astern Propeller Rotation Naval Ship Submarines torpedoes Counter Rotating Propellers - Have both a right and left hand s
