Similarly, the turboproptries to achieve the same. A: as speed increases, the tip speed increases. At high enough speeds, shock waves will form. This increases drag, which increases the torque on the reciprocating engine, which reduces the rotational speed (rpm) of the engine, which reduces power obtrained from the engine, which reduces thrust. Also, shock waves on the propeller airfoils increase drag, reducting thrust.speedlowhighChapter 3- Some Propulsion CharacteristicsAE 3310 PerformanceDr. Danielle SobanGeorgia Institute of TechnologyReciprocating Engine/PropellerFour Stroke Otto CycleVertical movement of the piston is translated to rotary motion of the crankshaftChapter 3- Some Propulsion CharacteristicsAE 3310 PerformanceDr. Danielle SobanGeorgia Institute of TechnologyPower Generated by EngineDisplacement: size of the engine. Volume of piston sweep from top dead center to bottom dead center is called displacement of the cylinder. Total displacement for the engine is cylinder displacement multiplied by number of cylinders. The larger the displacement, d, the more power output by the engine.Power strokes: the number of times the piston moves through its four-stroke cycle per unit time.
