Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, named PS2KW, is designed to convert power from horse power (PS) to kilowatts (KW), which is the SI unit for power. The function is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 5.0. It is particularly useful in contexts where robots, electric machines, or batteries are used, and understanding power in kilowatts is essential.
Input Parameters
- ps: This is the input parameter representing the power value in horse power (PS).
Output Results
- kw: This is the output result, which is the power converted into kilowatts (KW).
Algorithm Explanation
The function performs a simple conversion from horse power to kilowatts using the formula:
kw = ps / 1.36;
This formula is based on the conversion factor where 1 horse power is approximately equal to 0.7355 kilowatts. The function uses a simplified conversion factor of 1.36 for ease of calculation.
Example
When the function is called with an input of 1 horse power:
PS2KW(1)
The output will be approximately 0.735 kilowatts, indicating that a 1000W stove plate consumes more power than a horse, and humans can produce a maximum of 360W.
