STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Beale Number = Engine Power/(Average Gas Pressure*Piston Swept Volume*Engine Frequency)
B_n = HP/(P*SV_p*f_e)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Beale Number - Beale Number is a parameter that characterizes the performance of Stirling engines.
Engine Power - (Measured in Watt) - Engine Power is the power that the engine gives out.
Average Gas Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Average Gas Pressure is the average of pressure inside the engine through out the process.
Piston Swept Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Piston Swept Volume is defined as the displacement of one cylinder. It is the volume between top dead center (TDC) and bottom dead center (BDC).
Engine Frequency - (Measured in Hertz) - Engine Frequency in hertz is defined as the number of cycles per second in an ac sine wave.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Engine Power: 160 Horsepower --> 119311.97952 Watt (Check conversion here)
Average Gas Pressure: 56 Newton per Square Meter --> 56 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Piston Swept Volume: 205 Cubic Meter --> 205 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Engine Frequency: 102 Hertz --> 102 Hertz No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

B_n = HP/(P*SV_p*f_e) --> 119311.97952/(56*205*102)

Evaluating ... ...
