1. What is Power RPM Calculation?

The Power RPM calculation determines the mechanical power output of a rotating system based on torque and rotational speed (RPM), or converts between horsepower and watts.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses these equations:

\[ P = \tau \times \frac{2\pi \times RPM}{60} \] \[ 1 HP = 745.7 \text{ Watts} \]

Where:

\( P \) — Power (Watts)
\( \tau \) — Torque (Newton-meters)
\( RPM \) — Rotations per minute
\( HP \) — Horsepower

Explanation: The first equation calculates power from torque and rotational speed. The second converts between horsepower and watts.

3. Importance of Power Calculation

Details: Accurate power calculation is essential for designing mechanical systems, selecting motors, and evaluating performance in automotive, industrial, and mechanical applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter either:

Torque (N·m) and RPM to calculate power
Horsepower to convert to watts

All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between power and torque?
A: Torque is rotational force, while power is the rate of doing work (torque × angular velocity).

Q2: Why is 1 HP equal to 745.7 Watts?
A: This is the mechanical horsepower definition established in the British Imperial System.

Q3: Can I calculate torque from power and RPM?
A: Yes, rearrange the formula: \( \tau = \frac{P \times 60}{2\pi \times RPM} \)

Q4: What are typical torque values for car engines?
A: Passenger cars typically produce 100-400 N·m, with RPM ranges of 1000-6000.

Q5: How does this relate to electrical power?
A: Electrical power (Watts) = Voltage × Current, while mechanical power = Torque × Angular Velocity.
