Beale Number Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Beale Number = Engine Power/(Average Gas Pressure*Piston Swept Volume*Engine Frequency)
Bn = HP/(P*Vpiston*fengine)
This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Beale Number - Beale number is a parameter that characterizes the performance of Stirling engines.
Engine Power - (Measured in Watt) - Engine power is the power that the engine can put out.
Average Gas Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Average Gas Pressure in kilo pascal is a unit of pressure. 1 kPa is approximately the pressure exerted by a 10-g mass resting on a 1-cm2 area.
Piston Swept Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Piston swept volume is defined as the displacement of one cylinder. It is the volume between top dead center (TDC) and bottom dead center (BDC).
Engine Frequency - (Measured in Hertz) - Engine frequency in hertz is defined as the number of cycles per second in an ac sine wave.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Engine Power: 160 Horsepower --> 119311.97952 Watt (Check conversion here)
Average Gas Pressure: 56 Newton per Square Meter --> 56 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Piston Swept Volume: 205 Cubic Meter --> 205 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Engine Frequency: 102 Hertz --> 102 Hertz No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Bn = HP/(P*Vpiston*fengine) --> 119311.97952/(56*205*102)
Evaluating ... ...
Bn = 0.101892446812871
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.101892446812871 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.101892446812871 0.101892 <-- Beale Number
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
