How much Hp/Kw required to move 1.5L/m of Diesel fuel at 17.2 Bar? Please note this is for a real life problem.

So what units of power is that in? Kw?russ_watters said:Power is pressure times volumetric flow rate.
You'll need to pick the units and do the proper conversions. So, what is a kW?Chincha40 said:So what units of power is that in? Kw?
kW=Kilowatt that is 1000 watts. Sorry I assumed everything here was metric or nothing and that people here would know units of power. I need to stop making assumptions. It seems most of this forum isn't really tuned to these sort of questions by looking at the popular topics discussed.russ_watters said:You'll need to pick the units and do the proper conversions.

What is a watt?Chincha40 said:kW=Kilowatt that is 1000 watts.
It is.Sorry I assumed everything here was metric...
Patience. I know what a watt is and I know the conversion I'm asking you to do. I'm trying to lead you to the answer, not hand it to you....and that people here would know units of power.

Okay wise guy, you want to get smart with me? Look I am just searching for a quick answer. I am not going down an absurd route of columbs, amperes, volts, watts, kilopascales, and Newton meters. Time is money and I have none to waist good day.russ_watters said:What is a watt?
It is.

So: what is a Watt? By that, I mean, what units are combined to form it?
Sorry, that isn't how this forum works. It's better for you (and probably us) if you learn how to find the answer than for us to just hand it to you.Chincha40 said:Okay wise guy, you want to get smart with me? Look I am just searching for a quick answer.
It's too bad: thisn't a hard problem and you could have learned how to do it by now if you hadn't wasted your (and our) time complaining about it and instead just followed me through it.I am not going down an absurd route of columbs, amperes, volts, watts, kilopascales, and Newton meters.

In this scenario, there is a direct correlation between Hp and Kw. One Hp is equivalent to 0.746 Kw. Therefore, the required Kw can be calculated by multiplying the required Hp by 0.746.
The amount of diesel fuel being moved is measured in liters per minute (L/m). This is a standard unit of measurement for liquid flow rate.
The pressure of 17.2 Bar indicates the force per unit area that is required to move the diesel fuel. Bar is a unit of pressure commonly used in the scientific and engineering fields.
The required Hp/Kw can be calculated by taking into account the amount of diesel fuel being moved (1.5L/m) and the pressure needed to move it (17.2 Bar). This calculation involves using the formula P = Q x ΔP, where P is power (in Hp or Kw), Q is flow rate (in L/m), and ΔP is pressure (in Bar).
Yes, there are other factors that can affect the required Hp/Kw. These include the viscosity of the diesel fuel, the diameter and length of the pipes used for transportation, and any obstacles or friction that the fuel may encounter during its movement.
