Abstract:⎯ fuel accounts for the majority of the ship's operating costs. Increased propeller efficiency can help to reduce fuel usage. The higher the efficiency, the less energy is wasted. Ships with high propeller efficiency may be able to provide more thrust while using less fuel. Propeller Boss Cap Fin (PBCF) installation is one of the solutions for improving propeller efficiency that is ideal for a submarine. PBCF may lower the submarine's energy usage, allowing it to recharge its batteries less frequently. Accordi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
