11. Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP):
(Brake Power x 60,000)
BMEP = ( Displacement Volume x N )
(0.1869 x 60,000)

≈ 0.000033 bar.
12. Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC):

13. Brake Thermal Efficiency:
( Fuel flow rate∗Calorific value)
BThEff = ( Brake Power∗3600)
(5 kg / hr∗45,000 kJ /kg)
= (0.1869 kW∗3600)

14. Indicated Thermal Efficiency:
( Fuel flow rate∗Calorific value)
IThEff = (Engine Power∗3600)
(5 kg /hr∗45,000 kJ /kg)

16. Volumetric Efficiency:
