K_s = kW*k₁*k₂/P_c
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Service Factor of Chain Drive - Service Factor of Chain Drive is a multiplier used to account for the operating conditions and expected usage of the chain.
Power Rating of Chain - (Measured in Watt) - Power Rating of Chain is the maximum amount of power the chain can transmit without failing. It is based on the chain's design, material, and operating conditions.
Multiple Strand Factor - Multiple Strand Factor is a value used to account for the increased load capacity of a chain drive system with multiple parallel strands.
Tooth Correction Factor - Tooth Correction Factor adjusts the calculations for the load capacity and efficiency of gears or sprockets. It accounts for deviations in tooth profile from the ideal shape.
Power Transmitted by Chain Drive - (Measured in Watt) - Power Transmitted by Chain Drive is the amount of mechanical power the chain transfers from the driving sprocket to the driven sprocket. It depends on the chain's speed and the force applied to it.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Power Rating of Chain: 4.5 Kilowatt --> 4500 Watt (Check conversion here)
Multiple Strand Factor: 3.554709 --> No Conversion Required
Tooth Correction Factor: 1.05 --> No Conversion Required
Power Transmitted by Chain Drive: 9.88 Kilowatt --> 9880 Watt (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K_s = kW*k₁*k₂/P_c --> 4500*3.554709*1.05/9880

Evaluating ... ...

K_s = 1.70000000253036

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.70000000253036 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.70000000253036 ≈ 1.7 <-- Service Factor of Chain Drive
