Calculation Formula

P(kW) = η × 860

Where:
P(kW) = Power in kilowatts
η = Thermal efficiency in kg/kg
860 = Conversion factor from kg/kg to kW

Kilogram per kilogram to kilowatt calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Kilogram per kilogram to kilowatt calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the thermal efficiency value in the "Thermal Efficiency (kg/kg)" field. This is the measure of thermal efficiency, typically between 0 and 1.
  2. Click the "Calculate" button to convert the thermal efficiency to power in kilowatts.
  3. The result will be displayed in the "Power (kW)" field.
  4. Use the "Reset" button to clear all fields and start over.

Working Principle

The calculator uses the following formula to convert thermal efficiency (kg/kg) to power in kilowatts:

P(kW) = η × 860

Where:

  • P(kW) is the power output in kilowatts
  • η is the thermal efficiency in kg/kg
  • 860 is the conversion factor that represents the energy equivalent of 1 kg of fuel converted to electrical energy (334.052 kJ/kg divided by 3600 J/s)

Example

If you enter a thermal efficiency of 0.75 (75%), the calculator will display a power output of 645 kW (0.75 × 860).

Applications

This calculator is useful in various engineering applications, including:

  • Power plant efficiency calculations
  • Engine performance analysis
  • Thermal system design
  • Renewable energy system assessments
