Brake Horsepower (BHP) is a measure of an engine’s power output, specifically the power delivered to the output shaft or propeller. It’s a critical parameter in understanding an engine’s performance.
Formula: The formula for Brake Horsepower (BHP) is relatively straightforward:
- BHP is the Brake Horsepower (in horsepower, hp).
- T is the torque produced by the engine (in pound-feet, lbf-ft).
- N is the rotational speed of the engine (in revolutions per minute, RPM).
