The aims may include the variables like indicated power, brake power, brake specific fuel consumption, exhaust emissions, cooling of ENGINE , maintenance free operation etc.
Power and Mechanical Efficiency The main purpose of running an engine is to obtain mechanical power. • Power is defined as the rate of doing work and is equal to the product of force and linear velocity or the product of torque and angular velocity. • Thus, the measurement of power involves the measurement of force (or torque) as well as speed.
