Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating the revolutions per minute (RPM) of a new type of engine, specifically focusing on the relationship between torque, power, and speed. Participants explore variables and methods relevant to this calculation.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks guidance on how to calculate the RPM of their engine after determining torque, asking for necessary variables.
  • Another participant questions the clarity of the initial inquiry, indicating a need for more context.
  • A participant suggests that power output is dependent on engine speed and mentions the importance of specifying which type of power is being referred to.
  • It is proposed that maximum power can be monitored at different speeds, and that a dynamometer could be used to measure brake horsepower and calculate power from torque and angular velocity.
  • One participant expresses gratitude for a website that provides relevant calculations and thanks another for clarifying the problem and variables involved.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the best approach to calculate RPM, as multiple perspectives and methods are presented without resolution.

Contextual Notes

There are assumptions regarding the definitions of power types and the conditions under which measurements are taken, which remain unresolved.

I have been working on a new idea. However, i could not find out how to calculate the r.p.m of the power source. How do i do it.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
well i'll give you an overview.
i have calculated the torque. what i want to know is how to find out the rpm of the engine. it is a new type of engine. what are the variables i need to know and stuff.
 
hello banerjeerupak
well,when u mention how much power(max power the engine can produce--)u have to mention at which speed?
so at a certain speed u can get a certain power-
and for this max power the engtine can generate---its can be monitored at a different values for the speed---in an indicated diagram of the power&speed ---
which kind of the power u talking about?
for the rated power-couldnt u see the max speed in the dashboard?and then u could calculate how much power?
for the brake hp__u could use a dynamometer_in which the speed is indicated_and torque calculated_and then (torque*angular velocity=power)
hope i could help u-
 
thank you 'Q_Goest' for the website. it was the thing that i was looking for. thanks 'machinest' for explaining how to put the problems as well as the variables in question...
