Brake Horsepower Formula
Brake Horsepower (BHP):
\[ BHP = IHP \cdot \xi_m \quad \text{or} \quad BHP = IHP - FHP \]
Where:
- \(BHP\) is the brake horsepower in horsepower (hp).
- \(IHP\) is the indicated horsepower in horsepower (hp).
- \(\xi_m\) is the engine mechanical efficiency (decimal).
- \(FHP\) is the friction horsepower in horsepower (hp).
