[PSUBS-MAILIST] Preliminary calculations, please check me

["Joseph Perkel" <joeperkel@hotmail.com>]

 

Someone check me here.

 

According to the Busby book, a MBT system as a rule of thumb should be approximately 10% of displacement at dive trim.

 

If that is the case, then for each 10k of displacement should be roughly 125 gallons of seawater. That in turn converts to 16.71 cubic feet unless I am mistaken this doesn?t feel right?

 

If that is the case, these are very encouraging numbers!

 

Joe
