The formula to calculate Brake Horsepower Per Ton (BHP/T) is:
\[ \text{BHP/T} = \frac{\text{BHP}}{\left(\frac{W}{2000}\right)} \]
Where:
Brake horsepower per ton is a metric used to describe the amount of power a vehicle generates per ton of its weight. It is an important performance indicator, particularly in the automotive industry, as it gives insight into the power-to-weight ratio of a vehicle. A higher BHP per ton indicates better performance and acceleration capabilities.
Consider an example where:
Using the formula to calculate Brake Horsepower Per Ton:
\[ \text{BHP/T} = \frac{300}{\left(\frac{4000}{2000}\right)} = \frac{300}{2} = 150 \]
This means that the brake horsepower per ton for this example is 150.
