Question

Difference between indicated power and brake power

Answer 1

Answer:

Indicated power measures the power developed on top of the pistons. Brake power measures the power developed at the output of the crankshaft. The indicated power is larger than the brake power by an amount equal to the friction power.

Answer 2

The difference between indicated power and brake power is:

• Indicated power is the power in the cylinder or the energy developed in the cylinder per unit area while the brake power is the actual power and is the power output of the engine at the craft shaft.
• The formula of indicated power is
• $\frac{pmlank}{60}$
• The formula for brake power is
• $\frac{2\pi \: nt}{60}$.
• Brake power is less than indicated power.
