Functions
Unit Power of Turbine
Unit Power of Turbine is the hypothetical power developed by a turbine under a head of 1m.
Symbol: Pu
Measurement: PowerUnit: kW
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Power Output of Turbine
The Power Output of Turbine is the amount of energy transferred in unit time by the turbine.
Symbol: P

How to Evaluate Unit power?

Unit power evaluator uses Unit Power of Turbine = Power Output of Turbine/((sqrt(Effective Head of Turbine))^3) to evaluate 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 Pu symbol.

How to evaluate Unit power using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Unit power, enter Power Output of Turbine (P) & Effective Head of Turbine (Heff) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Unit power

What is the formula to find Unit power?
The formula of Unit power is expressed as Unit Power of Turbine = Power Output of Turbine/((sqrt(Effective Head of Turbine))^3). Here is an example- 0.015892 = 1986500/((sqrt(25))^3).
How to calculate Unit power?
With Power Output of Turbine (P) & Effective Head of Turbine (Heff) we can find Unit power using the formula - Unit Power of Turbine = Power Output of Turbine/((sqrt(Effective Head of Turbine))^3). This formula also uses Square Root (sqrt) function(s).
Can the Unit power be negative?
No, the Unit power, measured in Power cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Unit power?
Unit power is usually measured using the Kilowatt[kW] for Power. Watt[kW], Milliwatt[kW], Microwatt[kW] are the few other units in which Unit power can be measured.
