It is important that one understands that there is no written rule to measure power directly. It has a lot of dynamometers which can measure the torque and allow the power to be calculated. This is a basic equation which allows one to develop design...
In the first article we reached the following conclusion:
Ask a selection of people this question and one of the first things that will spring to mind is engine size. After all, big engines tend to produce more power than small ones. The second article on Power and Torque lists some data for standard road...
The first two articles have covered the main items that need to be considered when trying to evaluate the power potential of an engine. All that needs to be done now is to look at the equations that turn valve area into potential bhp. We...
We've seen in the previous article how torque and power are defined and calculated - now let's look more closely at how they relate to engine design. The concept of an engine's torque output seems to be confusing to many people judging by newsgroup threads...
