Power Transmitted Formula Elements

Variables
Constants
Shaft Power
Shaft Power is the mechanical power transmitted from one rotating element of a vehicle, ship, and all types of machinery to another.
Symbol: Wshaft
Measurement: PowerUnit: kW
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Speed of Rotation
The Speed of Rotation is the speed at which an object rotates or revolves is called rotational speed. Unlike linear speed, it is defined by how many rotations an object makes in a period of time.
Symbol: N
Measurement: VorticityUnit: 1/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Torque Applied
Torque applied is described as the turning effect of force on the axis of rotation. In brief, it is a moment of force. It is characterized by τ.
Symbol: τ
Measurement: TorqueUnit: N*mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Archimedes' constant
Archimedes' constant is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
Symbol: π
Value: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288
