How many horsepower is one kilowatt for a diesel engine?
1 Answers
Diesel engine power is measured in kilowatts, where 1 kilowatt (kW) = 1.36 horsepower (ps). Horsepower is not actually a force, but a unit of power (Power), defined as the amount of work that can be done per unit of time. Horsepower is a commonly used unit for measuring power in engineering and technology, generally referring to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. The horsepower power calculation is as follows: 1. Horsepower is a unit of power. When the power is known, dividing the power by 0.73 gives the horsepower. For example, if the power is 73 kW, then its horsepower is 100 hp. 2. Horsepower is a unit of power. The international unit of power is the watt, with others including kilowatts, megawatts, milliwatts, and horsepower. Each subsequent unit is 1000 times the previous one. 3. The unit of horsepower is further divided into imperial and metric systems. Metric: 1 horsepower = 735 watts = 0.735 kilowatts, 1 kilowatt = 1.36 horsepower; Imperial: 1 horsepower = 746 watts = 0.746 kilowatts, 1 kilowatt = 1.34 horsepower.
