Formula(s)

$$ \begin{gathered} A V=24.5 * \frac{Q}{D h^{2}-D p^{2}} \\ P b=156.5 * Q^{2} * \frac{M W}{\left(N_{1}^{2}+N_{2}^{2}+N_{3}^{2}\right)^{2}} \\ H H P=P_{s} * \frac{Q}{1714} \\ H H P b a=Q * P b * \frac{1.27}{1714 * B^{2}} \\ P_{p s i b}=P b * \frac{100}{P_{s}} \\ V_{n}=417.2 * \frac{Q}{N_{1}^{2}+N_{2}^{2}+N_{3}^{2}} \\ I F a=M W * V_{n} * Q * \frac{1.27}{1930 * B^{2}} \end{gathered} $$
