\[P_h = PQ\]
Variables
Phhydraulic power (W)
Ppressure (Pa)
Qvolumetric flow rate (m³/s)
Description
What is this formula?
The hydraulic power equation calculates the power transmitted by a fluid under pressure flowing through a hydraulic system.
When to use it
Use this formula when analyzing pumps, hydraulic machinery, fluid power systems, industrial equipment, or pipeline systems.
Example
A hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 2500000 Pa with a flow rate of 0.015 m³/s.
Data:
P = 2500000 Pa
Q = 0.015 m³/s
Formula:
Ph = P*Q
Substitution:
Ph = 2500000*0.015
Result:
Ph = 37500 W
Applications
Hydraulic engineering, industrial machinery, pump systems, fluid power transmission, process engineering, and mechanical engineering.
