The power output of a turboprop engine in aircraft design represents the mechanical power produced by the engine, which is used to drive a propeller for thrust generation. The formula and definition for the power output of a turboprop engine are as follows:
Turboprop Engine Power Output (P): This is the mechanical power produced by the turboprop engine and is typically measured in watts (W), kilowatts (kW), or horsepower (hp).The formula for calculating Turboprop Engine Power Output is:
- Torque (τ): Torque is the rotational force produced by the turboprop engine and is typically measured in newton-meters (N·m) or foot-pounds (ft·lb).
- Angular Velocity (ω): Angular velocity represents the rotational speed of the engine’s output shaft, typically measured in radians per second (rad/s).
