🔍 Key Concepts

• Propeller fairwater cone location and shape on a ship’s propeller assembly • Difference between streamlining flow and mechanical locking of nuts or bolts • What actually causes axial thrust and cavitation on a propeller

💭 Think About

• Visualize where the fairwater cone sits in relation to the propeller hub and shaft. What shape is it and what does that shape typically do in fluid flow? • Which of the options describes something that can be fully removed or ‘eliminated’ just by changing the shape at the after end of the hub? Is that realistic? • Ask yourself: which function sounds like a primary design goal, and which sound like side effects that cannot be completely removed in normal operation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Clarify the physical purpose of a cone-shaped fairing in water flow around a rotating shaft and hub • Consider whether a small fitting at the hub end can truly eliminate cavitation or thrust, or only influence it slightly • Distinguish between locking hardware functions (nuts, cotter pins, keyways) and hydrodynamic fairing parts like cones or caps
