What is the maximum power of an engine?
wartsila, this is the name of an engine , which is 2-stroke long diesel engine with the 1,09,000 brake horsepower.
Is brake horsepower different from horsepower?
yes of course.
How do you calculate brake hourse power from wheel horse power?
"they are basically equal"- Previous Answer They are not even close to equal. You can't calculate brake horsepower from wheel horsepower unless you know the exact losses through the drivetrain of the vehicle in question. The actual percent lost through any given drivetrain can vary dramatically. In order to know the losses you would need to measure the % difference between the brake horsepower and the wheel horsepower. Then you would already know the brake horsepower, and any calculations would be unnecessary. FYI- Brake horsepower is a rating of the engine output before the drivetrain/water pump/alternator/other attachments. It will be a higher number than wheel horsepower. It is measured by a brake dynomometer at the crankshaft of an engine. Wheel horsepower is generally 15-20% less (sometimes more than 20% less) than brake horsepower depending on whether the vehicle is FWD or RWD, or manual or automatic transmission. Usually the least losses will be in a FWD, manual transmission, and the most losses will be in a RWD, auto transmission. Auto manufacturers rate their engines in brake horsepower, as it allows them to advertise higher horsepower numbers than what is actually going to the ground.
The traction horsepower rating of a diesel locomotive is the same as wheel HP?
No! According to AAR definitions, traction horsepower (THP) is the diesel engine INPUT to the main generator available for traction purposes only (generator, electric motors and gear losses are not taken into consideration). So THP is the gross diesel engine HP less the auxiliary load HP (typically 5% of the diesel engine brake HP, for fan driving and other auxiliary vital equipment). Wheel rim HP is usually 85%+ of the traction HP (in a modern locomotive). Drawbar HP (DBHP) will be somewhat smaller (especially as speed increases) due to locomotive resistance as a vehicle (+ 0.75xTHP at maximum speed for a powerful freight loco.). For example, in a SD90MAC diesel loco., the GM16V265H diesel engine is capable of 6300 BHP, but the locomotive is rated at 6000 THP. The drawbar HP can top 5300 DBHP at low speed.
What is the horsepower of a Triumph America?
According to Triumph, it is 54 bhp (brake horsepower) @ 6,750 rpm. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, horsepower at the output shaft of an engine, turbine, or motor is termed brake horsepower or shaft horsepower.
What is brake horsepower in hvac systems?
Brake horsepower is the hvac motor horsepower before the motor hp is dropped due to a load. Indicated, gross and SAE are other ways to rate horsepower.
What is the brake horse power for a peugeot 307cc?
The brake horsepower of the diesel version of the 307 cc is 135, and the 2.0 petrol model is 138 bhp. The diesel model feels more sporty due to the torque delivery, the cc is a heavy car and benefits for the power delivery of the diesel engine/gearbox.
Brake horsepower of Mitsubishi rvr 2 liter turbo diesel?
Depends on which year but a 1995 RVR diesel Turbo has 94 PS (69.14 kw) / 4500 rpm 1 PS = 0.98632 hp or for the RVR is 92.71408 BHP.
What is the difference between brake horsepower and horsepower?
The difference between brake horsepower and horsepower or wheel horsepower, they are the same thing, is that brake horse power is the power produced by the crank. The wheel horsepower is the amount of power delivered to the wheels. Brake horsepower refers to the method used to test the engine. A brake is attached to the engine and used to maintain the engine at a constant RPM at full throttle. The delivered power output is then a simple calculation of RPM times torque. Horse power is based on the average amount of work that a horse could do in a day. It is taken to be 746watts. well you guessed it engine output is also specified in kilowatts so divide by 746 and you have horsepower. As stated above it is all the same thing. There is a difference between advertised horsepower and brake horsepower. Advertised horsepower is what a manufacturer will rate its engine/automobile/machine to produce. Brake horsepower is the actual measured horsepower, for example, of a motor on an engine dynamometer.
IN reference to autos What is the difference between brake horse power and barrel horse power?
Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump, and other auxiliary components. Thus the prefix "brake" refers to where the power is measured: at the engine's output shaft, as on an engine dynamometer. The actual horsepower delivered to the driving wheels is less. An engine would have to be retested to obtain a rating in another system. The term "brake" refers to the original use of a band brake to measure torque during the test (which is multiplied by the engine RPM and a scaling constant to give horsepower). Never heard of Barrel H.P.
What is meant by brake horse power in cars?
Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump and other auxiliaries. Thus the prefix "brake" refers to where the power is measured: at the engine's output shaft, as on an engine dynamometer. The actual horsepower delivered to the driving wheels is less. An engine would have to be retested to obtain a rating in another system. The term "brake" refers to the use of a band brake to measure torque during the test (which is multiplied by the engine speed in revs/sec and the circumference of the band to give the power).
An engine with a brake horsepower of 20 bhp would have a rated horsepower of?
16
