Hi guys,
I have been trying to model mechanical eff. of an ICE. I have two methods for that one using:
[tex]\eta[/tex]m = [tex]\frac{bp}{bp+fp}[/tex]
where bp = brake power
fp = friction power
This method did not work well because of bad assumptions in fp. So I decided to calculate the bp_required from back calculating the power from the tires. And using that to calculate the %load on the engine however the load values are too high so there should be a problem with bp_required. I calculate bp_required through coast-down test. What can be the reason of high bp_required? Do you have any idea or suggestion to check?
Thanks,
