Input power of a pump - Using fuel consumption rate
Input(s)
\(\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{f}}\): Rate of Fuel Consumption \((\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{h})\)
H: Fuel Heating Value (BTU/lb)
Output(s)
\(\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{i}}\): Input Power (hp)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{i}}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{f}} * \mathrm{H}}{2545}
\]
