Example Calculation

A car combustion engine delivers 100 hp at 5000 rpm. The torque on the output shaft can be calculated using the provided formula:

T=63057×\Phpn=63057×100hp5000rpm=12611lb⋅inT = \frac{63057 \times \Php}{n} = \frac{63057 \times 100 \, \text{hp}}{5000 \, \text{rpm}} = 12611 \, \text{lb·in}

Converting to SI units (1 lb·in = 0.113 Nm):

12611lb⋅in×0.113Nmlb⋅in143Nm12611 \, \text{lb·in} \times 0.113 \, \frac{\text{Nm}}{\text{lb·in}} \approx 143 \, \text{Nm}

Unit Conversions

Key conversions for common units in shaft power and torque calculations:

  • Horsepower to Watts: 1hp (English)=745.7W1 \, \text{hp (English)} = 745.7 \, \text{W}
  • Pound-inch to Newton-meter: 1lb⋅in=0.113Nm1 \, \text{lb·in} = 0.113 \, \text{Nm}
