Looking back, I think my eyes wandered by a box or two when I read the speed.

I was making the assumption that one had already combined the two motors into one equation by gearing the FP to match the CIM (with the CIM at 1:1). I should have been more clear.

- the sum of the output power from each motor is then used to calculate how fast the impeller will spin, given that power

- that impeller speed is then used to calculate what the gear ratio must be for each motor in order for each motor to be spinning at its respective specified rpm when the impeller is spinning at the speed just calculated.

It's an interesting solution, but it's not the solution to the problem I had in mind because it requires that the current to each motor be controlled at 35 amps. The problem I had in mind did not involve controlling the current. As stated, each motor is being driven at a constant voltage (12V), not a constant current.
You are correct. I use the motor curve data from here:

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/download/2593

Indeed, I try to do my math to confirm that I will get what I need without popping breakers. In addition, I've seen even a fresh battery drop voltage when you are pulling power to the drive train: doing your calculations at 12 volts may result in a performance problem in the field. Just our experience though, perhaps others differ.

For systems where the voltage variation would have an appreciable effect on performance, we run all math scaled to 10V (just linearly scale down the free speed and stall torque).

Re: CIM Quiz 2

Does anyone know the continuous current rating for the FP's? I'm pretty sure the CIM is about 27A, and so that impeller would make sense to work with it, but for the FP? I'd imagine replacing it every match.

Does not compute.

For the FP @ 10.5 volts and 35 amps it says
0.222 Nm, 623.7 rad/sec... = 138 watts, not 180 watts.

The spreadsheet is pretty busy. Am I reading it wrong?

But why increase either motor's speed by a factor of 6? What led to that decision?

(though it's worth noting that it's closer to 3.5 times....

Looks good.

The data I have here shows the FP max power 184W at 7800 rpm. The FP would draw slightly less current and run cooler if geared for 7800 instead of 7500.

I just noticed: how did you add 337+184 and get 674 ?

... Ill advisedly.

Wow. Not sure what happened there. I'll have to check the excel sheet I made, tomorrow.

Edit to add:
Apparently I mis-clicked in excel, and selected the CIM motor's output power twice. Oops!
