Specific Consumption Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Consumption = (2*Input Power)/Candle Power
S.C. = (2*P_in)/CP
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Consumption - Specific Consumption is defined as the ratio of electric power input to its average candle power.
Input Power - (Measured in Watt) - Input power refers to the amount of electrical power consumed by a device or system. It represents the energy input required to operate the equipment and is typically measured in watts or kilowatts.
Candle Power - (Measured in Candela) - Candle power is an older term used to describe the intensity of light emitted by a source, but it has largely been superseded by the SI unit candela for modern illumination measurements.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Input Power: 290 Watt --> 290 Watt No Conversion Required
Candle Power: 1.55 Candela --> 1.55 Candela No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S.C. = (2*P_in)/CP --> (2*290)/1.55

Evaluating ... ...

S.C. = 374.193548387097

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

374.193548387097 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

374.193548387097 ≈ 374.1935 <-- Specific Consumption
