# Marine Propulsion - Institution: IIT Kharagpur - Department: Ocean Engineering - Teacher: Prof. Anirban Bhattacharyya - Level: Undergraduate - Language: English - Subjects: Engineering - Source: [NPTEL](https://nptel.ac.in/courses/114105047) - Licence: [CC BY-NC-SA](https://nptel.ac.in/faq) (Non-commercial use only.) - Syllabus: [at the source](https://nptel.ac.in/courses/114105047) - Who can watch: Tweens profiles and older (sources give no ratings; placed by Invisible Network from the source's own words) The course covers different aspects of marine propellers and propulsion starting with the basic concepts of screw propeller geometry, theories of propeller action, hydrodynamics in open water and behind-hull conditions and practical calculations of ship powering from model test results. Other topics include propeller cavitation, blade strength, and engine-propeller matching. Some propeller design methods and concepts will be discussed. To give a general overview of the propulsors used in marine vessels, controllable-pitch propellers, ducted propellers, podded propellers, and unconventional propulsion devices like waterjets, oscillating propulsors etc. will be included along with thrust augmentation devices for improving energy efficiency. The course should provide a general understanding of marine propulsion for both graduate students and professionals working in the maritime industry. Intended audience: Students pursuing B-Tech/ M-Tech degrees in Naval Architecture, research scholars, and working professionals in the maritime industry. Prerequisites: Knowledge of Hydrodynamics, Basic Ship Theory and Ship Resistance. ## Lectures 1.
