Note on Static Performance of Shrouded Propellers

Abstract

Momentum theory, based on the assumption of incompressible flow and constant jet velocity throughout the slipstream, predicts a relationship between the static thrust and the ideal power of an air-moving propulsive device. As applied to shrouded propellers it may be combined with Bernoulli's equation to produce the relationship between propeller thrust and shroud thrust, and states that T sub prop = T sub shroud.
