Tip Speed Ratio Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Tip Speed Ratio?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

λ = \frac{ω \cdot R}{V ∞}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

λ = \frac{0.5047rev/min \cdot 7m}{0.1682m/s}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

λ = \frac{0.0529rad/s \cdot 7m}{0.1682m/s}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

λ = \frac{0.0529 \cdot 7}{0.1682}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

λ = 2.19999970081817

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

λ = 2.2
