Horsepower and torque: HP = Torque x Rpm / 5252 example: 2hp = 35 ftlbs x 300 rpm /5252 Torque = HP / (Rpm/5252) example: 2hp / ( 300 rpm / 5252) = 35 ftlbs Rpm = HP/ (Torque/5252) example: 2hp / ( 35 / 5252) = 300 rpm
Power = Work / Time Work = Force * Distance Power = Force * Distance / time
BTU ( British Thermal Units) BTU is the rate of bringing 1 lb of water up 1 degree. BTU = pounds of water * difference in temperature rise 1 cubic foot of water = 64.2 lbs So to bring 1 cubic foot of water from 50 degrees to 100 degrees ( 50 degree difference ) BTU = 64.2 lbs ( 1 cubic foot ) * 50 degrees BTU = 3210 1 cubic foot of water = 7.48 gallons ( or 8.58 lbs per gallon ) Say you have a gallon of water (8.58 lbs) and its at 60 degrees, you want to bring it up to 110 degrees. You will need a 50 degree rise in temperature BTU = 8.5 * 50 = 425 Btu Watts = 425 Btu / 3.41 = 125 watts So at 125 volts you would need one amp for one hour to bring the water to the desired temperature.
Centrifugal Force: .000341 * W * R * n^2 Where: W = weight of outer ring R = Radius in feet n = RPM
Kinetic energy: E = ( W * V^2) / (2 * g) Where E = total energy in flywheel, in ft lbs W = weight of flywheel V = velocity in feet per second of outer radius g = acceleration due to gravity ( 32.16 ) |
