Okay wise guy, you want to get smart with me? Look I am just searching for a quick answer. I am not going down an absurd route of columbs, amperes, volts, watts, kilopascales, and Newton meters. Time is money and I have none to waist good day.

kW=Kilowatt that is 1000 watts. Sorry I assumed everything here was metric or nothing and that people here would know units of power. I need to stop making assumptions. It seems most of this forum isn't really tuned to these sort of questions by looking at the popular topics discussed.

So what units of power is that in? Kw?

How much Hp/Kw required to move 1.5L/m of Diesel fuel at 17.2 Bar? Please note this is for a real life problem.

Thank you good sir! I really appreciate it!

I'm currently building a turbo-shaft engine and I am trying to find a good, yet simple to build free power turbine for extracting the exhaust energy of the jet engine. The Ljungström turbine seems promising as it is compact and easily machined from a 3 axis cnc machine. Does anyone know of the...

I don't know. I would assume it to be better homogenization with the moderators (water/heavy water obviously) and the fact that aqueous solutions are liquid making it much easier to get a spherical shape needed for criticality. Homogenized reactors (AHR, TRIGA) have always preformed...

The lowest critical mass I know of is Americium 242m (m for meta stable which for this isotope has a half life longer than the non meta stable) in an optimally moderated aqueous solution (probably a AmO2 and D2O slurry in a specific ratio) and water reflected has a critical mass of just 20...
