How this was calculated
Hydraulic Horsepower (HHP) = P(psi) × Q(gpm) / 1714
Input HP = HHP / efficiency
1 HP = 0.7457 kW = 745.7 W = 2545 BTU/hr
Torque (ft-lbs) = HP × 5252 / RPM

Fluid power is the product of pressure and flow rate. It represents the rate of energy transfer in a hydraulic system and is the basis for sizing pumps, motors, and power units.
In petroleum operations, fluid power calculations are essential for hydraulic fracturing pump requirements, mud pump sizing, cement pump design, chemical injection systems, and hydraulic workover units.
A typical frac spread may require 20,000+ hydraulic horsepower to pump slurry at 10,000+ psi and 80+ bpm downhole.
