Beale Number Formula Elements

Variables
Beale Number
Beale Number is a parameter that characterizes the performance of Stirling engines.
Symbol: Bn
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Engine Power
Engine Power is the power that the engine gives out.
Symbol: HP
Measurement: PowerUnit: hp
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Average Gas Pressure
Average Gas Pressure is the average of pressure inside the engine through out the process.
Symbol: P
Measurement: PressureUnit: N/m²
