How is power measured in an engine?
Power is measured in both torque and horsepower.
What is power measuared in?
Electrical power is measured in Watts, or kilowatts. Mechanical energy used to be measured in Horsepower, but is now measured in Joules. A Joule is a Watt-second, or a Newton-metre. [There is a tale told that James Watt searched for the average of a group of strong horses in defining his original 'Horsepower'. Thus it was hard to find a pit pony that could match the horsepower of one of his steam engines!]
Why is horsepower used in describing the power output of a motor or engine?
Simply that horses were used before motors and engines. The standard used to measure how efficient a machine was therefore a horse. So a 2 HP (Horse Power) motor could do the work of 2 horses.CommentThe output power of a machine is only measured in horsepower in the US; elsewhere, it's measured in watts.
Where do you use the unit of horsepower today?
in measuring an engines power
How much horsepower does a f22 motor has?
Jet power is measured in 'pounds of thrust' . The F-22 has 2 engines of 35,000 pounds thrust each. That's a lot for a small aircraft.
How many cc is a 5 horsepower engine?
There isn't really a straight answer for that... cc = cubic centimetre, and refers to the engines displacement. horsepower is a unit for measuring power. Power is measured at different rpm with different engines finding their max HP at certain rpm ( often referred to as 'power band') and varies due to intake, bore diameter and length of stroke. Sorry if that doesn't help at all.
Is the brake power the output power of an engine?
No, "Horsepower" was originally defined to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses. "Brake horsepower" (BHP) is the amount of work generated by a motor without taking into consideration any of the various auxiliary components that may slow down the actual speed of the motor. Sometimes referred to as pure horsepower, brake horsepower is measured within the engine's output shaft.
What is hydraulic horsepower?
A hydraulic variable that describes the power provided by a hydraulic system. HHP is directly proportional to flow rate and pressure and inversely proportional to the efficiency of a system
Is it true that power is the rate at which work is done and is generally measured in horsepower?
no, power is calculated in watt
Electrical power is expressed in watts or?
Electrical power is expressed in watts or in jouls per secondAnother AnswerThere is no such thing as 'electrical power'. Power is simply a rate: the rate of doing work. Power can be measured in watts (in the SI system) or in horsepower (in the Imperial system). There is no reason why the power of a heater can't be measured in horsepower or the power of a car can't be measured in watts.
What is bhp of an engine?
BHP is Brake HorsePower, or the power measured at the crankshaft of an engine.
Is torque more important than horsepower?
This is a question people have been discussing for a very long time. I was told one time people talk horsepower but they ride torque. Everything that discusses power has two parts. Think about it . With electric power it is voltage and amps, with hydraulics it is pressure and flow and with engines it is horsepower and torque. In each case the first one, in this case horsepower, is the engines ability to make power. This is usually measured at a high RPM. Torque is the engine making power. Ususally measured at about 4000 rpm. So when you ride the engine has the ability to move the vehicle(horsepower), but the pull that you feel when you accelerate is torque. Now go talk to your friends and get into the age old discussion of which one is more important Don Big Daddy's cycle world
