horsepower
Shaft horsepower is the power output from an engine after it is put through the gear train and other components that result in a loss of power. It is usually used in respect to aeroplanes and ships though it can be used as the power output from a cars gearbox. Brake horsepower is the power an engine puts out at the crank and is not subject to losses. It is always higher than the true horsepower. The true horsepower or rear wheel horsepower is the power that is actually driving a vehicle foreward and is probably the most important for comparing motor vehicles. Horsepower itself is the imperial unit for power, like the metric systems Watt. 1 hp = 0.75kW
BHP (brake horsepower) is the measure of an engine's horsepower output before any losses due to friction, whereas HP (horsepower) typically refers to the power measured at the engine's crankshaft. In most cases, BHP and HP are used interchangeably, but technically BHP is measured at the output shaft of the engine without any additional components.
power = torque * rpm
Brake horse power is the power output of the drive shaft on an engine without the power loss caused by the gears, transmission, friction, etc. The actual useful horsepower delivered to the propellor or wheel is called the shaft horsepower. Its also called effective ,true, wheel horsepower as well as other terms. The term horsepower is is not a good measurement of power as there asre too many different systems of measuring horsepower. The current trend is to use kilowatts or megawatts.
There is no direct conversion between shaft horsepower (SHP) and pounds of jet thrust, as they are two different measures of power and thrust for different types of engines. SHP measures the power output of a shaft-driven engine, while jet thrust measures the force produced by a jet engine. To compare the two, you would need to consider factors such as engine efficiency, design differences, and specific applications.
According to Triumph, it is 54 bhp (brake horsepower) @ 6,750 rpm. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, horsepower at the output shaft of an engine, turbine, or motor is termed brake horsepower or shaft horsepower.
Of all.
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.
