  • Drivetrain Loss Equation

    I am doing a math research project and it may be about anything that I want. I decided to do the loss of horsepower throughtout the drivetrain of a rear wheel drive vehicle. Does anyone know like rotating mass to horsepwer loss or any kind of equation for this.

    I have no idea. I have alwasy thought it was like 20% for auto's and 15% loss for manuals. I have also heard for every pound you take off the crank shaft you get 2.6 horsepower to the wheels. Does that help?

      Force required to rotate mass. Look for equation for that. I'll move this lounge since this is a science question now.
