Bollard pull is probably not quite the right thing anyway, as the thrust may vary a lot at zero hull speed. You could make a rough estimate from the pounds/feet per second number, then make a reduction for propellor effieciency. (50 to 70 per cent efficient?) In non-redneck units 1hp = 748Watts= 748Nm/s 1m/s =3.6 km/h, 1nm=1.842km so 1knot=1.95m/s so 1hp@1knot=748/1.95=383N x efficiency 383N=39.1kgf=~86LbF Doesn't sound much does it? suggests horse pulling canal boat at 4kts with force of 21Lb? ??? Any gsce stoodents on here? |
