What is meant by engine load and is it the same as engine torque?

engine load is how muchdemand is placed on the engine for power such as playing the music, rolling down the windows and running the A/C system and using the wipers while starting the vehicle for example is all load it can be one of these or all of these does not matter each and everything you do is a load on the engine...
Torque is how much power the engine puts out to actually turn the gears to move the vehicle or how much force the engine produces to apply to the gear set to turn the wheels... some gear sets such as 4x4 gear sets increase engine torque considerably when used in low or granny gear or crawl modes in almost all cases the bigger your engine the more baseline torque you can produce which will be transferred to your gear sets via the transmission.

ahem.....load is the work done; the 'feedback force' that an engine experiences. engine torque is a reference to the amount of rotational Energy, coming Out of an engine .

Is the Torque to fasten the same to unfasten?
The torque needed to loosen a bolt or joint is often much higher than the torque needed to put the bolt in in the first place. There is no set value difference between the two, unfortunately.
Which has a greater torque a perpendicular force applied at the end of a wrench handle or an equal force applied in the same direction near the middle of the handle?
the perpendicular force applied at the end of a wrench handle. Because torque= Fd / T = F d cos θ therefore the greater the distance the greater the torque. T=torque F=force d=distance cos=cosine θ=theta
How does the caterpillar engine work?
Same as a regular car engine but to give it the extra power it has some more cylinders
What is the difference between shock load and gradually applied loads and suddenly applied Load?
The only difference between a shock load and a gradually applied load is something called an impulse; defined as the integral of a force with respect to time. When a force is applied to a rigid body it changes the momentum of that body. A small force applied for a long time can produce the same momentum change as a large force applied briefly, because it is the product of the force and the time for which it is applied that is important.

What happens if load torque is same at full speed in separately excited dc motor?
Same as what? at maximum speed and torque, the motor delivers maximum power.
How much torque does the 2.4 liter have?
Depends WHICH engine, all 2.4's don't have same torque.
Which is greater the Torque of the engine or the Torque of the wheels in order for the car to move?
The torque would be the same, as torque measures the rotational force between the two objects, not necessarily the output at either end.
What does BHP and Torque in a car engine's mean?
The BHP (brake horsepower) is calculated on an engine dyno with a load brake right off the crankshaft. This is often considered a misleading figure as rear wheel horsepower or the actual power that hits the ground can be significantly different in that the rating is reduced by that power going through the transmission and differencial. Torque is a measure of applied force. The horsepower and torque will be the same at 5,252rpm on gasoline powered internal combustion engines.
Why is petrol engine RPM is greater than diesel engine?
for same power diesel engine produces more torque @ less rpm whereas petrol engine produces less torque @more rpm this difference is due to different combustion processes of diesel and petrol
Cylinder head torque specs 1998 Isuzu hombre?
you know, they did not all have the same engine. If you expect an answer the engine information would be necessary.
How do Torque is related with speed?
Torque is a measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate. Speed is how fast something is going. Another way to think of this is as how far you can go in a certain amount of time.
How will torque and horsepower be affected if you install bigger tires in diameter on your Jeep Wrangler?
Engine torque and horse power will be the same, but the torque available to the ground will be reduced due to the fact that it is harder to turn larger tires.
What happens if load torque is same at all speed in separately excited dc motor?
It means that the armature must be supplied with a constant-current source.
Why the starting torque of a dc series motor is high?
load is heavier so starting torque is requiredAnswerBecause the same current is passing through both the armature and field windings, the torque is proportional to the squareof the current. Since the starting current is alway high (no back emf), the torque will be very high indeed.
Where is the torque converter on a 1993 nisson 240sx?
The torque converter is ALWAYS between the engine and automatic transmission. It's the big round thing that turns at the same rate as the engine, but you should never see it until you remove the dust cover.
When using an external resistive load bank to test an engine driven generator do you load it to kVA or KW?
It does not matter, when testing a generator with a resistive load bank, if you load it to kVA or KW. For a resitive load, i.e. non-reactive load, the power factor is one, so kVA and kW are the same.
