Mean Horizontal Candle Power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Mean Horizontal Candle Power = Sum of Candle Power/Number of Lamp
M.H.C.P. = S/N_Lamp
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Mean Horizontal Candle Power - (Measured in Candela) - Mean Horizontal Candle Power is a measure that represents the average intensity of light emitted by a source along the horizontal plane.
Sum of Candle Power - (Measured in Candela) - Sum of candle power refers to the total luminous intensity or combined light output from multiple light sources or individual lamps within a lighting system or installation. It is denoted as CP.
Number of Lamp - Number of lamps refers to the quantity of individual light sources used in a lighting system. It represents the count of separate lamps employed to provide illumination in a given space.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Sum of Candle Power: 7.65 Candela --> 7.65 Candela No Conversion Required
Number of Lamp: 3 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

M.H.C.P. = S/N_Lamp --> 7.65/3

Evaluating ... ...

M.H.C.P. = 2.55

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.55 Candela --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.55 Candela <-- Mean Horizontal Candle Power

Number of Lamps Required for Illumination

LaTeX Go Number of Lamp = (Illumination Intensity*Area of Illumination)/(Luminous Flux*Utilization Factor*Maintenance Factor)

Reduction Factor

LaTeX Go Reduction Factor = Mean Spherical Candle Power/Mean Horizontal Candle Power

Solid Angle

LaTeX Go Solid Angle = Area of Illumination/(Radius of Illumination^2)

Mean Spherical Candle Power

LaTeX Go Mean Spherical Candle Power = Luminous Flux/(4*pi)
