Input power of a pump - Using fuel consumption rate

Input(s)

$\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{f}}$: Rate of Fuel Consumption $(\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{h})$

H: Fuel Heating Value (BTU/lb)

Output(s)

$\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{i}}$: Input Power (hp)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{i}}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{f}} * \mathrm{H}}{2545} $$
