Power Density Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Power Density (Dp) is:

\[ Dp = \frac{P}{L \times W} \]

Where:

Power Density (Dp): The amount of power per unit area, measured in watts per square foot (W/ft²).
Power (P): The rate at which energy is used or produced, measured in watts.
Length (L): The measurement of something from end to end, measured in feet.
Width (W): The measurement of the extent of something from side to side, measured in feet.

Let's say the total power (P) is 1000 watts, the total length (L) is 50 feet, and the total width (W) is 20 feet. Using the formula:

\[ Dp = \frac{1000}{50 \times 20} = \frac{1000}{1000} = 1 \text{ W/ft²} \]

So, the power density is 1 W/ft².
