| There isn't really a conversion factor for kW, only HP. IHP=PLAN will yield W so you simply divide by 1000 to convert to kW. Also, I apologize, I forgot to write (1/60) to convert RPM to seconds above, but that will get you the correct answer "3416". |

| I used IHP = (PLAN*n/2)/4500, where P = pressure in kg/cm^2, L = length in meter, A is area in cm^2, N = RPM, n = # of cylinders. 4500 conversion factor for kW and HP. I appreciate the feedback but I am not following your math and when I used your calculation I got a huge number. Could you offer a little more detail. Thanks |

| This answer is correct. IHP=(4 CYL)(18kg/cm2)(9.81m/s2)(10,000cm2/m2)(1.5m)(pi*.74^2/4)(90/2) |

| I don't think this question is correct. Every time I calculate I come up with answer B 4644KW. |
