Engine Power Trerms Power Description Power Type Symbol

The document defines different types of engine power terms. Gross indicated power is the net power developed during combustion and compression strokes. Net indicated power is gross indicated power minus pumping power, which is the power required to induct air and fuel and expel exhaust gases. Brake power is net indicated power minus friction power, which includes pumping power plus power lost to mechanical friction and driving engine accessories.

𝑃𝑖,𝑔
Net power developed during combustion and compression strokes Gross Indicated Power

Less:
Power required to induct fresh air/fuel and expel exhaust gases (pumping power) (𝑃𝑝 )

Power developed accounting for intake and exhaust strokes:


Net Indicated Power 𝑃𝑖,𝑛
𝑃𝑖,𝑔 − 𝑃𝑝 = 𝑃𝑖,𝑛
