kph | = velocity [kilometers per hour] |
F_kg | = total force resisting forward motion [kilograms] |
P_a | = power output to overcome air resistance [Watts] |
P_r | = power output to overcome rolling friction [Watts] |
P_g | = power output to climb grade [Watts] |
P_t | = power loss due to drivetrain inefficiency [Watts] |
P | = P_a + P_r + P_g = total power output [Watts] |
hp | = total power output [horsepower] |
heat | = C - (P + BM) = power wasted due to human inefficiency [Watts] |
BM | = basal metabolism [Watts] |
C | = total power consumption [Watts := Joules per second] |
Cal/hr | = total power consumption [dietary Calories per hour] |
Cal/km | = total power consumption [dietary Calories per kilometer] |
