The formula to calculate the power in kilowatts is:
\[ P (kW) = \frac{Q (GPM) \times H (ft) \times 0.002725}{\eta} \]
Where:
The GPM to kW conversion is a calculation used to convert the hydraulic power of a fluid flow, measured in gallons per minute (GPM) and head in feet, into electrical power in kilowatts (kW). This conversion is important in the field of hydraulics and pump systems where the efficiency of converting hydraulic power to electrical power is a key factor in system design and analysis.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ P (kW) = \frac{100 \times 50 \times 0.002725}{0.85} \approx 16.03 \text{ kW} \]
The power would be approximately 16.03 kW.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ P (kW) = \frac{200 \times 75 \times 0.002725}{0.90} \approx 45.42 \text{ kW} \]
The power would be approximately 45.42 kW.
