HP to Nm/s Conversion Formula:
From: | To: |
The HP to Nm/s conversion calculates torque from horsepower and angular velocity. It converts mechanical power (HP) to torque (Nm) at a specific rotational speed (rad/s), which is essential in mechanical engineering and automotive applications.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula converts horsepower to watts, then calculates torque by dividing power by angular velocity.
Details: Torque calculation is crucial for designing mechanical systems, evaluating engine performance, and determining the rotational force required for various applications in automotive, industrial, and mechanical engineering.
Tips: Enter horsepower in hp and angular velocity in rad/s. Both values must be positive numbers greater than zero for accurate calculation.
Q1: Why convert HP to Nm/s?
A: Converting HP to Nm/s helps determine the torque produced by an engine or motor at a specific rotational speed, which is essential for performance analysis and system design.
Q2: What is the conversion factor 745.7?
A: 745.7 is the conversion factor from horsepower to watts (1 HP = 745.7 watts), which is used to convert mechanical power to SI units before calculating torque.
Q3: How is angular velocity measured?
A: Angular velocity is typically measured in radians per second (rad/s). It can be converted from RPM using the formula: ω = RPM × (2π/60).
Q4: What are typical torque values?
A: Torque values vary widely depending on the application. Automotive engines typically produce 100-500 Nm, while industrial motors can produce much higher values.
Q5: Can this calculator be used for electric motors?
A: Yes, this calculator works for any rotating machinery where horsepower and angular velocity are known, including electric motors, internal combustion engines, and turbines.
