The brake thermal efficiency, r\\j, is then given by the corresponding equation to Eq.<br />

1.5.23:<br />

rate <strong>of</strong> heat input rhf Cfl<br />

A similar situation holds for brake specific fuel consumption, bsfc, <strong>and</strong> Eq. 1.5.28:<br />

fuel consumption rate rhf<br />

power output Wb<br />

(1.6.4)<br />

However, it is also possible to compute a mean effective pressure corresponding to the<br />

measured power output. This is called the brake mean effective pressure, bmep, <strong>and</strong> is calculated<br />

from a manipulation <strong>of</strong> Eq. 1.5.25 in terms <strong>of</strong> measured values:<br />

bmep =<br />

It is obvious that the brake power output <strong>and</strong> the brake mean effective pressure are the<br />

residue <strong>of</strong> the indicated power output <strong>and</strong> the indicated mean effective pressure, after the<br />

engine has lost power to internal friction <strong>and</strong> air pumping effects. These friction <strong>and</strong> pumping<br />

losses deteriorate the indicated performance characteristics by what is known as the engine's<br />

mechanical efficiency, T|m. Friction <strong>and</strong> pumping losses are related simply by:<br />

Wj = Wb + friction <strong>and</strong> pumping power<br />
