WB < 0
Pf = Pi - Pb
m = Pb / Pi = 1- (Pf / Pi )
w = (mep) ∆v
mep = w / ∆v = W / Vd
∆v = vBDC – vTDC

• The maximum bmep is obtained at WOT at a particular engine speed
• For the same bmep 2-strokes have almost twice the power of 4-stroke
Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP)
• Range of maximum brake mean effective pressures for good engine designs is well
established
• Displacement-independent measure of the torque-producing capacity of an engine design
• Useful for comparing engines of different displacements
