Propellers and Wind-Power Machines 10.104 The propeller on a fanboat used in the Florida Ever- glades moves air at the rate of 50 kg/s. When at rest, the speed of the slipstream behind the propeller is 45 m/s at a location where the pressure is atmospheric. Calculate (a) the propeller diameter, (b) the thrust produced at rest, and (c) the thrust produced when the fanboat is moving ahead at 15 m/s if the mass flow rate through the propeller remains constant.
