Any chance you can redo that in SI-units?

Hi jakobnev,
You must be thinking of some other situation. If your p1 is atmospheric the power to pump something is the sucking force times the flow. The equation is exact.
I guess I'll leave the SI conversion for somebody else. I never got the feel of 100000 Pascals. The only numbers you need to make up are A/F (14.7:1) energy density of the fuel (about 12 kwh/kg maybe for petrol) and engine efficiency.
