The formula to calculate the drivetrain loss is:
\[ \text{DL} = \left( \frac{\text{EHP} - \text{WHP}}{\text{EHP}} \right) \times 100 \]
Where:
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the drivetrain loss:
\[ \text{DL} = \left( \frac{300 - 250}{300} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{50}{300} \right) \times 100 \approx 16.67\% \]
This demonstrates that with an engine horsepower of 300 hp and a wheel horsepower of 250 hp, the drivetrain loss is approximately 16.67%. ✅
