9. (5 Parts, 4 Points per Part) The C-130H Aircraft's T-56 Engine uses a propeller with a diameter of d = 4.15 m and produces a propeller shaft horsepower of p = 4591 hp. The plane is flying at speed of Vo= 555 km/hr and an altitude of 6,000 meters (po = 47217 N/m and po = 0.66011 kg/m). Assume a far downstream airspeed of V = 604.8 km/hr. Using the Momentum Theory of Propellers, estimate the following (Note: 1 hp = 745.7 W): a. Airspeed at the propeller, Ve, in m/s and ft/s b. Propeller thrust, Eprop in kN c. The propeller thrust power in hp d. The air mass flow rate, mo, captured by the propeller in kg/s e. The "ideal" and actual propeller efficiency. Comment on the similarities or differences. 9.
