How do I calculate Torque?
What is the calculation for torque?
I know the Horsepower is: HP = Torque(lb-ft) * RPM/5252 But how do I get Torque? |

Let's see if I have had enough coffee....
If HP = T * (rpm/5252) then you could divide both sides by (rpm/5252) and maybe end up with T = HP/(rpm*5252) Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's AChevyFan wrote: > > What is the calculation for torque? > I know the Horsepower is: > > HP = Torque(lb-ft) * RPM/5252 > > But how do I get Torque? |

Crap that should be
T = HP/(rpm/5252) Need more coffee...

If you have a known HP and RMP simply insert them into the formula you gave
and solve for torque. Otherwise, torque is something that must be measured on the dyno. It would take a rather complex formula involving many variables for you to calculate it.

The value of peak torque may NOT be at the same rpm as peak HP, so you cannot compute peak torque by dividing peak hp by rpm for peak hp. However, you can get the torque at THAT rpm by dividing hp by rpm at the rpm for peak hp. It just may not be the PEAK torque (which usually appears at a lower rpm). In other words, you really need a curve of hp vs rpm to derive torque. In fact, usually the dyno outputs torque vs rpm and you derive horsepower by multiplying torque and each rpm. At least, that is the way it used to be. Modern computerized dynos output curves of both, doing the multiplication for you. |

That's a great algrebra lesson but I am assuming that I have neither HP nor
Torque to calculate so that doesn't help me.

Which is precisely why I am asking...thnx.

You have to have one or the other to come close or go to a speed shop
that tests them on a dyno. Math and the real world seldom match up.

Torque = moment of intertia x angular acceleration It would be explained in a college physics text. That's where I'm looking at it. You can calculate the monent of interia of a flywheel and calculate the torque needed to get it accelerating at a given rate but trying to calculate the moment of interia of the whole driveline including transmission would, I imagine, be quite difficult. As mentioned it would better be done by measuring resistance on a tread mill.

Get a mechanical engineering degree with emphasis on thermodynamics.
You will learn this in your 4th year thermodynamics classes. Erich "AChevyFan" > wrote in message ... > What is the calculation for torque? > I know the Horsepower is: > > HP = Torque(lb-ft) * RPM/5252 > > But how do I get Torque? > > |
