Calculate The Days Run Allowing 6% Positive Slip

If the pitch of the propeller is 19.4 feet, and the revolutions per day are 96,713, calculate the days run allowing 6% positive slip.

Given:

Pitch = 19.4 ft
RPD = 96,713
 Slip = + 6%

What is asked?

Days run

Solution:

This is the formula for solving days run:

                   Days Run = RPD x P x eff
                                            6080
1. Solving for efficiency.

                   Efficiency = 100 - Slip
                                          100
                                   = 100 - (+6)
                                           100
                                   = 100 - 6
                                          100
                                   = 94 
                                     100
                   Efficiency = 0.94

2. Solving now for days run.

                   Days Run = RPD x P x eff
                                            6080
                                   = 96,713 x 19.4 x 0.94
                                                 6080
                                   = 1763658.268   
                                           6080
                   Days Run = 290.1 miles

    Why is the Days Run formula similar to getting Speed of Advance? How can getting speed be same as getting time?

    Formula should be getting Speed of Advance, and using that speed in getting distance by means of Distance=Speed×Time
