Unit power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Unit Power of Turbine = Power Output of Turbine/((sqrt(Effective Head of Turbine))^3)
P_u = P/((sqrt(H_eff))^3)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Unit Power of Turbine - (Measured in Watt) - Unit Power of Turbine is the hypothetical power developed by a turbine under a head of 1m.
Power Output of Turbine - (Measured in Watt) - The Power Output of Turbine is the amount of energy transferred in unit time by the turbine.
Effective Head of Turbine - (Measured in Meter) - Effective Head of Turbine is the net or the effective head of the turbine. It is the height difference between where the water enters the hydro system and where it leaves it.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Power Output of Turbine: 1986.5 Kilowatt --> 1986500 Watt (Check conversion here)
Effective Head of Turbine: 25 Meter --> 25 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_u = P/((sqrt(H_eff))^3) --> 1986500/((sqrt(25))^3)

Evaluating ... ...

P_u = 15892

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

15892 Watt -->15.892 Kilowatt (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

15.892 Kilowatt <-- Unit Power of Turbine

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

What is unit power?

The Unit power is defined as the power developed by the turbomachine while working under a head of one meter.

How to Calculate Unit power?

Unit power calculator uses Unit Power of Turbine = Power Output of Turbine/((sqrt(Effective Head of Turbine))^3) to calculate the Unit Power of Turbine, Unit power refers to the amount of power consumed or produced per unit of a specific quantity. This could be power per unit area (e.g., watts per square meter) or power per unit volume (e.g., watts per cubic meter). It is a measure of power density, indicating how much power is distributed over a given unit. Unit Power of Turbine is denoted by P_u symbol.

How to calculate Unit power using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Unit power, enter Power Output of Turbine (P) & Effective Head of Turbine (H_eff) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Unit power calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.015892 = 1986500/((sqrt(25))^3).

FAQ

What is Unit power?

Unit power refers to the amount of power consumed or produced per unit of a specific quantity. This could be power per unit area (e.g., watts per square meter) or power per unit volume (e.g., watts per cubic meter). It is a measure of power density, indicating how much power is distributed over a given unit and is represented as P_u = P/((sqrt(H_eff))^3) or Unit Power of Turbine = Power Output of Turbine/((sqrt(Effective Head of Turbine))^3). The Power Output of Turbine is the amount of energy transferred in unit time by the turbine & Effective Head of Turbine is the net or the effective head of the turbine. It is the height difference between where the water enters the hydro system and where it leaves it.
