Question: 1 - A twin - screw ship has two steam turbines each producing a shaft power of 1 1 5 0 0 kW at 3

1- A twin-screw ship has two steam turbines each producing a shaft power of 11500 kW at 3000 rpm . The turbines are connected to the two three-bladed propellers through reduction gearing of ratio 12:1. The shafting efficiency is 0.940. The effective power of the ship is as follows:
\table[[Speed, knots,:,30.0,32.0,34.0,36.0,38.0],[Effective Power, kW :,9329,11693,14457,17658,21337,25533,]]
The wake fraction, thrust deduction fraction and relative rotative efficiency based on thrust identity are 0.000,0.050 and 0.990 respectively. The depth of immersion of the propeller axes is 3.2 m . Design the propellers using the Gawn Series data given in Problem 1 and the Burrill cavitation criterion for warship propellers.
