Understanding the difference between Speed and Torque

If you love cars, you would certainly have come across terms like speed, torque, power, acceleration, RPM and so on; a car’s performance is assessed using these factors. Among all the car related technical terms one stumbles on, speed and torque are the most confusing. One is mistaken for the other quite often but the truth is they are dependent on one another. Making changes to one will affect the other.

 

The level of torque force generated by your car or any other vehicle for that matter, depends on the size of the vehicle and the power of the engine. Engine speed on the other hand is determined in RPM i.e Rotations Per Minute. Popular service teams and mechanics like Volvo Repair Ventura Ca, claim that the powerful vehicles have a higher rate of RPM.

 

The horsepower of any vehicle depends on the power of the engine and the torque force  generated. The equation to determine horsepower is as follows

 

Horsepower= Torque x Engine Speed ÷ 5252

 

This equation emphasizes the relation between the torque and engine speed and how power of the engine can be derived using them.The variable 5252 can be easily obtained using another derivation. At 5252 RPM, torque and HP are equal. The value of the torque becomes greater than Horsepower when the RPM falls below 5252. Above 5252 RPM, the value of torque is less than the value of HP.

 

It is every car enthusiast’s dream to enhance the performance of their vehicle. A little bit of tuning can help your car be zippier than it generally is. You need to customize your vehicle by doing stuff like replacing your exhaust systems, adding a turbocharger or simply changing the spark plugs. For a thorough job and the best results you need an expert team like the Mercedes Repair Ventura Ca, to work on it.
