A marine turbine developing 15,000 HP and it turns the shaft at 300 RPM. A hollow steel shaft with outside diameter of 14 inches will be used. a. Compute for the torque in terms of ft-lb. b. Determine the inside diameter of the shaft, in terms of inches, if the maximum shearing stress based on the torsion alone is not to exceed 7,500 psi. c. If a solid shaft were to be used, what is the diameter of the solid shaft in terms of inches.
