Power Computation
Physical Model of Mean Effective Pressure F = p* A p Mean pressure in the combustion chamber provides a downward force on each piston.
Mean Effective Force of the Stroke A The piston area and the cycle mean effective pressure provide a measure of the average force exerted.
Work F = p* A F W = F * L L Simply the average force exerted times the length of the stroke.

Homework The indicated mean effective pressure measured in the cylinder is 10 Bar (that is or ). The engine is a V8 four-stroke. The engine is running at 3600 and the mechanical efficiency is 90%. Required: 1) Compute the average Force acting on the piston during the compression/work strokes. 2) Compute the Work being done in one cylinder during compression/work strokes. 3) Compute the work done in 1 second for the whole engine, which is the Power
