ACTUAL ENGINE PERFORMANCE
Indicated Power = power produced inside the cylinder due to piston movement
= Pm x Length of Stroke x Area x N x nc
4-stroke cycle engine produces one power stroke in every two crankshaft revolutions
2-stroke cycle engine produces one power stroke in every crankshaft revolutions
Brake (Shaft) Power = power measured at the output shaft of the engine
= power available at the engine shaft
= 2π n T
Where: 1 rev = 2 π radians
n = revolution per second
T = engine torque available at the engine shaft
Mechanical Efficiency = ratio of the brake power and the indicated power

Volumetric Efficiency = defined as the ratio of the actual mass of air drawn in during the
suction stroke to the mass of air which would fill the swept volume
of the cylinder at atmospheric pressure and temperature
= mass of air / mass at VD
