How do you calculate propeller slip?
Slip=100%-Efficiency Efficiency=Observed Speed or Distance / Engine Speed or Distance Mean Apparent Slip = Distance Run by Propeller - Distance Run by Ship / Distance Run by Propeller Distance Run by Propeller = Picth X Total Engine Revolutions per day / 1852 I wish this can help those who are in need of this formula.
