Why propeller blades are given a geometric twist from root to tip?

To provide a thrust. Otherwise they would simply turn round and round. They need to go through the fluid in the manner of screws.

How do leaves orient themselves so that each blade is about 90 degree angle to the source of light?
the petiole is able to twist and turn in order to maintain this orientation to the sun and thus expose the blades of each leaf to maximum illumination.
How many syllables are in twist?

What is the synonym for twist?
spin
What is a synonym for twist and squeeze?
Wring.

Is a prop shaped like a airfoil?
Yes. Propeller blades are much like the wings of an airplane. On a propeller the airfoil chord, twist and camber are change drastically from root to tip - more than on a wing.
What are the forces induced on propeller shaft?
Propeller torque force consumes quite a bit of the shaft horse power. Other forces involved... Centrifugal force imposes considerable stress, torque reaction tends to bend the blades in the reverse direction of rotation, the thrust force tends to bend the outer sections of the blades forward and turning moments tend to twist the blades to a decreased pitch. The air inflow at the face of the propeller disc also affects propeller dynamics
How do propellers work in reverse thrust?
The propeller blades are angled in the opposite direction, sort of like an airplane flying on its back. Of course, the propeller's blade twist from hub to tip is inappropriate, and the camber of the airfoil is wrong when thrust is reversing, but efficiency of the propeller is not of paramount importance during that phase of operation.
Which twist is stronger the z-twist or s-twist?
S and Z twist are two types of twist given to yarn. Before giving twist fibre /roving strand has to be parallel so that either twist given is not affected. Either of twist is suitable but in practical applications Z twist is given to yarns either be knitting or weaving.
How do helecopter blades spin so fast?
Helicopter blades operate from a transmission or gearbox immediately under the blades. They have to spin fast to give the helicopter lift. Once they are in the air the blades twist slightly to give forward motion.
What is relation between torque and twist?
torque is given by me and twist automatic diveloped
Why wind turbines have quadratic twist whereas propellers have linear?
I guess it might be because propellers turn at much higher rpm than a wind turbine. non-linearities in propeller twist are negligible and therefore omitted
What is a TTO Gillette razor?
TTO = Twist To Open A reference to how the butterfly doors open on the head when changing blades
How do you you make a rubber band powered boat?
A rubber band boat works much like a rubber band airplane. First you need to build the boat itself. Then you need to make a propeller. The propeller shaft needs to run through the inside of the boat, not below the boat. With the prop below the water. The propeller shaft should not go the full length of the boat. About halfway through put a loop in the shaft. Then to the front of the boat attach a rubber band. Then run the rubber band through the loop in propeller shaft. Now twist the prop and the rubber band should twist around and around. When it's good and tight let go and the propeller should spin. Allowing the boat to move forward in the water. Mind you the shaft needs to be a thin piece of metal, as it will be difficult to make it water tight.

What is the main objective of the game text twist?
The main objective of the game Text Twist is to win. A person playing the game Text Twist is given six random letters to produce as many words as possible.
Why is there a twist in a propeller blade?
to keep the angle under which propeller section sees the relative velocity. Because, a propeller essentially is a wing which rotates around an axis parallel to the flight velocity. wings operate best at a certain angle of attack, which is an angle at which wing 'sees' the flow. now, propellers rotate and tangential velocity increases from root to tip. airflow velocity is obviously constant. tangent of angle between relative velocity and prop section is air velocity / tangential velocity. we want angle between propeller section and relative velocity to constant, since tangent changes from root to tip , we need to change angle of propeller section itself.
