  • • This empirical coefficient is unit-dependent, not dimensionless. Identify shaft/brake/effective power consistently; coefficients on different power bases are not interchangeable. Use similar hulls/loading and relevant speeds only; do not treat Ac as a universal constant or extrapolate to all operating conditions.

Important limitation

This is an educational estimate based only on the values and formula shown. Verify current rates, rules, units, and professional standards before relying on the result. It is not personalized financial or investment advice.
