Power Density Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Power Density.
Dp = P / (L*W)
- Where Dp is the Power Density (W/ft^2)
- P is the total power (watts)
- L is the total length (ft)
- W is the total width (ft)
How to Calculate Power Density?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Power Density.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the total power (watts).
- The total power (watts) is given as 300.
- Next, determine the total length (ft).
- The total length (ft) is calculated as: 3.
- Next, determine the total width (ft).
- The total width (ft) is found to be: 10.
- Finally, calculate the Power Density using the formula above:
Dp = P / (L*W)
Inserting the values from above yields:
Dp = 300 / (3*10) = 10 (W/ft^2)
Example Problem #2
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
total power (watts) = 500
total length (ft) = 1206
total width (ft) = 5
This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer. Dp = P / (L*W) = (W/ft^2)
