How many horsepower is 129kw for an engine?
1 Answers
1kw equals 1.36 horsepower, so an engine with 129kw is 175 horsepower. Definition of power: Power is an important performance parameter of an engine, used to measure how much work the engine can perform per unit of time. The greater the power, the more work the engine can do in a unit of time. Higher power also results in better acceleration performance for the vehicle. Another important performance parameter of a car's engine is torque, which measures the output force per work cycle. Ways to increase power: To increase power, both rotational speed (RPM) and torque need to be improved. Engines with higher RPM and greater torque will have higher power. Most civilian vehicles improve power by increasing torque, while most racing engines achieve higher power by increasing RPM.
