Is force times acceleration equal to power?


power = p(max)*Area*mean piston speed*rate of rotation*constant
power = p(max)*Area*acceleration*constant
power = force*acceleration*constant

Is this right?

hi renjith_p!

i'm not following that

power = energy per time = work done per time
= force "dot" distance per time

= force "dot" velocity

Oops!!! that was so stupid of me :) You're right.
