Define the following related I.C. engine. i) Indicated power ii) Brake power iii) Brake specific fuel consumption iv) Relative efficiency.
i) Indicated Power (ip) is defined as the power developed by combustion of fuel in the cylinder of engine. It is always more than brake power. ii Brake Power:- The useful power which is available at the crank shaft is called as brake power. It is denoted by “B.P.” It has unit kW iii) B.S.F.C: It is the weight of fuel required to develop 1KW of the brake power for period of 1 hour. Unit of B.S.F.C is Kg/KWh. It is defined as the amount of fuel consumed per unit of break power developed per hour.
iv) Relative efficiency is defined as the ratio of indicated / brake thermal efficiency to the air standard efficiency.
