Abstract

A propeller is an important part in marine vehicle as it provides the thrust and transmits the power generated by engine or motor to move the vehicle either forward or backward and in some circumstances upward and downward. The study and design of propeller have been an important point since the vehicles were manufactured to improve the vital part of the propulsion force. This study will review the designation of propeller, the effect of hub diameter, number of propeller blade, the rake and pitch of propeller effect and efficiency of propeller.
