Power Available for Reciprocating Engine-Propeller Combination Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Available Power = Propeller Efficiency*Brake Power
P_A = η*BP
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Available Power - (Measured in Watt) - Available Power is the power of the engine. It is a characteristic of the power plant and written in the manufacturer specifications of the engine.
Propeller Efficiency - Propeller Efficiency is defined as power produced (propeller power) divided by power applied (engine power).
Brake Power - (Measured in Watt) - Brake Power is the power available at the crankshaft.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Propeller Efficiency: 0.93 --> No Conversion Required
Brake Power: 22.21 Watt --> 22.21 Watt No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_A = η*BP --> 0.93*22.21

Evaluating ... ...

P_A = 20.6553
