How to Calculate Horsepower from Engine Power?

[McMarley]

Engine power is converted to horsepower by dividing the known power by 0.735kw. Power refers to the work done by the car per unit time. The greater the power, the higher the torque and the pulling force of the car. Maximum power is commonly used to describe the dynamic performance of a car, usually expressed in ps or kw. Power determines the speed of the car. Engine types include: 1. According to the fuel used, they are divided into gasoline engines and diesel engines; 2. According to the stroke, they are divided into four-stroke internal combustion engines and two-stroke internal combustion engines; 3. According to the cooling method, they are divided into water-cooled engines and air-cooled engines; 4. According to the number of cylinders, they are divided into single-cylinder engines and double-cylinder engines; 5. According to the intake system, they are divided into naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines, and supercharged engines.
