  2. Prony brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prony_brake

    The torque is then related to the lever length, shaft diameter and measured force. The device is generally used over a range of engine speeds to obtain power and torque curves for the engine, since there is a non-linear relationship between torque and engine speed for most engine types. Power output in SI units may be calculated as follows:

  3. Power band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_band

    Specifically, power band is the range of RPM around peak power output. The power band of an internal combustion gasoline automobile engine typically starts at midrange engine speeds (around 4,000 RPM) where maximum torque is produced, and ends below the redline after reaching maximum power (typically between 6,200 RPM and 6,800 RPM). Diesel ...

  4. Mean effective pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_effective_pressure

    Speed has dropped out of the equation, and the only variables are the torque and displacement volume. Since the range of maximum brake mean effective pressures for good engine designs is well established, we now have a displacement-independent measure of the torque-producing capacity of an engine design – a specific torque of sorts.

  5. Power-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-weight_ratio

    The useful power of an engine with shaft power output can be calculated using a dynamometer to measure torque and rotational speed, with maximum power reached when torque multiplied by rotational speed is a maximum. For jet engines the useful power is equal to the flight speed of the aircraft multiplied by the force, known as net thrust ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conversion_factors

    rpm ≡ One rpm equals one rotation completed around a fixed axis in one minute of time. ... 1 ⁄ 100 of the energy required to warm one gram of air-free water from ...

  7. Maximum brake torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_brake_torque

    Maximum brake torque (MBT) is the use of optimal ignition timing to take advantage of an internal combustion engine's maximum power and efficiency. There is always an optimal spark timing for all operating conditions of an engine. MBT is ideal at wide-open throttle (WOT), but not desirable when the engine is at idle.

  8. Engine power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_power

    Engine power is the power that an engine can put out. It can be expressed in power units, most commonly kilowatt, pferdestärke (metric horsepower), or horsepower.In terms of internal combustion engines, the engine power usually describes the rated power, which is a power output that the engine can maintain over a long period of time according to a certain testing method, for example ISO 1585.

  9. Switched reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_motor

    When power is applied to a stator winding, the rotor's magnetic reluctance creates a force that attempts to align a rotor pole with the nearest stator pole. In order to maintain rotation, an electronic control system switches on the windings of successive stator poles in sequence so that the magnetic field of the stator "leads" the rotor pole ...
