HEAT BALANCE SHEET ONMULTI CYLINDER PETROL ENGINE

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

An IC engine is used to produce mechanical power by combustion of fuel. Power is referred to as the rate at which work is done. Power is expressed as the product of force and linear velocity or product of torque and angular velocity. In order to measure power one needs to measure torque or force and speed. The force or torque is measured by Dynamometer and speed by Tachometer. The power developed by an engine and measured at the output shaft is called the brake power.While calculating brake power for single cylinder engine it is easy but in case of multi cylinder engine its quite difficult because of the inertia forces developed.In such cases the Morse test can be used to measure the indicated power and mechanical efficiency of multi cylinder engines
