The performance of an engine is an indication of the degree of success with which the

conversion of chemical energy contained in the fuel is done into useful mechanical work.
The degree of success is compared on the basis of following parameters:

1. Specific fuel consumption (SFC)

2. Brake mean effective pressure (BMEP)
3. Specific power output (SP)
4. Specific weight (SW)
5. Exhaust smoke and other emissions

However, in the evaluation of engine
