The chassis dyno also accounts for all the friction and inertia losses in the drivetrain and the tires. We pay closer attention to this today, but in the s and s, they looked at things a little differently. For racing and insurance purposes, the OEMs often underrated brake horsepower bhp. Typically they published a brake horsepower figure at a specified RPM, but neglected to mention that power kept rising above that point.

It was an arbitrary rating, and not necessarily the maximum output. In General Motors switched to net ratings, although they still published both ratings for just that one year.

All of the other automakers followed them shortly. Still, muscle car enthusiasts often long for a way to compare net and gross ratings for their cars. There is no direct conversion factor, but we might infer some educated guesses based on horsepower per cubic inch.

One horsepower per cubic inch used to be the magic number. Among others, the fuel-injected ci smallblock Chevy V-8 achieved it back in Most cars had far less. At gross horsepower, a ci Buick straight-8 provided 0. A hp ci Chevelle offered 0. How about the Z28 Camaro?

Its hp ci engine delivered 0. The engine made more horsepower above the published RPM and the cars were fast for their weight and displacement. Big-valve iron cylinder heads of the day barely flowed cfm, yet Traco Engineering and GM dyno sheets show more than hp from blueprinted Penske Trans Am engines.

Of course these were race-prepped engines, but if we assume 1. An educated guess, but probably still enough to provide the ETs and speed those cars typically ran. One can only speculate. Low-compression base engines suffered miserably. The base Chevy was rated at gross hp, but only net hp.

Go figure. It serves to illustrate how much engines are affected by lower compression ratios, unfavorable fuel and spark curves and excessive parasitic losses in the engine and in the driveline. It only measures output at the flywheel, not what is left on the table due to physics.

We know that the engine makes torque when combustion pressure forces the piston down and turns the crankshaft. The force applied to the piston top is simply the combustion pressure cylinder pressure times the area of the piston top.

Since gasoline engines operate on the expansion cycle, cylinder pressure varies greatly during a power stroke. It is greatest just after ignition and falls off quickly as the energy is transferred to the piston to turn the crankshaft. Hi-Techniques rotary encoder system attached to the front of the crankshaft provides the crank position signal that helps determine cylinder pressure relative to piston position and related valve action.

Sharp eyes will note that this particular setup is installed on a dry-sump-equipped small-block Chevy race engine mounted on a SuperFlow engine dyno. Courtesy Hi-Techniques. Combustion chamber pressure transducers work in union with the rotary encoder.

They directly sample cylinder pressure continuously so the software can relate combustion pressure to crank angle and piston position. This is the indicator that measures mean effective pressure. Several types are shown: 1. Spark-plug-mounted pressure sensor and 4. Courtesy Hi-Techniques and Kistler Corporation. Spark advance gives the combustion process a head start before the piston reaches TDC, but peak cylinder pressure generally occurs about 12 to 15 degrees after TDC when the piston is just starting to travel down the bore.

If we know the cylinder pressure we can calculate the indicated horsepower using a widely accepted formula called PLAN. On closer inspection we find the displacement formula in the middle of our equation. If we already know the displacement we can substitute it to simplify the equation. Because MEP only occurs within the cylinder, it is difficult to measure directly. Engine labs like Hi-Techniques insert a small pressure transducer directly into the combustion chamber to measure the mean effective pressure of an engine running on the dyno.

A rotary crankshaft encoder is teamed with the pressure transducer to pinpoint mean effective pressure at every degree of crankshaft rotation. This makes them sound too low, but cylinder pressure varies greatly throughout the power cycle. Outdoor carpentry projects using cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine are perfect for Do-It-Yourselfers of all skill levels, since the materials are easy to work with, and the results are rewarding.

Enjoy outdoor furnishings you can create yourself. Items made with quality materials last much longer and cost less, in the long run, than off-the-shelf items.

With classic swings for kids and adults, arbors for gardeners and even a table. The High-Performance New Hemi Builder's Guide is the first book to address the new Hemi and will show you how to get the most out of your Hemi-powered ride. Author Barry Kluczyk explores the design of the new Hemi engine and explains how it can be modified and tuned. The book includes detailed, step-by-step nitrous and supercharger installs, tuning and electronic engine management issues, various camshaft and head options and modifications, and even discusses other bolt-on performance and appearance upgrades.

But if the magnetic field is non - uniform then along with the torque , magnetic force also exists. Torque is maximum if For a brushed permanent magnet DC motor, the torque is proportional to the motor current regardless of speed Figure There is no standard for speed versus torque , but there is one for voltage versus current: voltage on the x -axis.
