Question

Two small liquid-propellant rocket motors are mounted at the tips of a helicopter rotor to augment power under emergency conditions. The diameter of the helicopter rotor is 7 m7 \mathrm{~m}, and it rotates at 1rev/s1 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{s}. The air enters at the tip speed of the rotor, and exhaust gases exit at 500 m/s500 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} with respect to the rocket motor. The intake area of each motor is 20 cm220 \mathrm{~cm}^2, and the air density is 1.2 kg/m31.2 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3. Estimate the power provided by the rocket motors. Ignore the mass rate of flow of fuel in this calculation.

1 of 12

Given:
Fluid Density, ρ=1.2 kgm3\rho = 1.2 ~ \mathrm{\frac{kg}{m^3}}
Diameter of Helicopter Rotor, D=7 mD = 7 ~ \mathrm{m}
Angular Velocity of Helicopter Rotor, ω=1 revs\omega = 1 ~ \mathrm{\frac{rev}{s}}
Exit Velocity of Air from Rotor, Vo=500 msV_o = 500 ~ \mathrm{\frac{m}{s}}
Intake Area of Rotor, A=20 cm2A = 20 ~ \mathrm{cm^2}

Required:
Power to Provided by the Helicopter Rotor, PP
