Is it "brake kilowatt"? (metric equivalent of 'brake horsepower')

What is the system/context?!?!?!?!?!?!

Is there a rotating shaft involved?

Dear Mr.varunpassi,

bkw is Brake Kilowatt is correct.

But the formula informed by is, in my opinion, not correct. bkw = (0.735.5) x H.P. But in your formula RPM is indicated in the denominator, which is not correct. RPM is involved in the H.P. formula as (2.π.N.T)/4500 where N is RPM, T is the Torque in Kg.M
