About this document
Measuring Indicated Power in Diesel Engines by asme51 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. The area within an indicator diagram represents the work done within an engine cylinder over one cycle. 2. This area can be measured and divided by the length of the diagram to obtain the average pressure, which when multiplied by the spring scale gives the indicated mean effective pressure. 3. The indicated power of the engine can be calculated by multiplying the mean effective pressure, piston area, stroke length, and number of power strokes per second.
