SHAFT TRANSMISSION EFFICIENCY (Mekanik Verim)

In order to facilitate our notation, in the following the product SBG will be simply termed S, the shaft transmission efficiency.
S : the shaft transmission efficiency. (SBG ) (*** It is not the sterntube efficiency)

Occasionally, more than one transmission (or mechanical) efficiencies are defined. The overall transmission efficiency will then be the product of the individual components. From equations (3), and (4);
PB PS

S =

(14)

: The brake power (BHP) for diesel engines. (*) : The shaft power (SHP) for gas turbines. (**)

Occasionally, PS is the power immediately fore of the stern tube bearing, and PB is the power right at the prime mover. Actually; Shaft efficiency; Transmission efficiency;
