Explanation:

Engine Performance Parameters:

Indicated Power:

  • It is the power developed inside the engine cylinder.
  • \(I.P = \frac{{{p_m}LANK}}{{60}}\)


Brake Power:

  • This is the actual power available at the crankshaft and may be called the power output of the engine. It is always less than indicated power.
  • \(B.P = \frac{{2\pi NT}}{{60}}\)


Friction Power:

  • It is the power loss in overcoming the friction between piston and cylinder walls, between the crankshaft and camshaft and their bearings, etc.
  • It is the difference between Indicated power and Brake power. 
  • F.P = I.P - B.P

Additional Information

Indicated thermal efficiency:

  • It is the ratio of I.P to fuel power.
  • \({\eta _{ith}} = \frac{{I.P}}{{{{\dot m}_f} \;\times\; CV}}\)


Brake thermal efficiency :

  • It is the ratio of B.P to fuel power.
  • \({\eta _{bth}} = \frac{{B.P}}{{{{\dot m}_f} \;\times \;CV}}\)


Mechanical Efficiency :

  • It is the ratio of brake power to indicated power.
  • \({\eta _m} = \frac{{B.P}}{{I.P}} = \frac{{{\eta _{bth}}}}{{{\eta _{ith}}}}\)
