This experiment was carried out with a zero brake load and with a brake load of 22Kg. The Air mass flow rate was found to be 0.0511 kg/s for partial load and 0.0469 kg/s for full load. We concluded that these values were satisfactory taking into consideration the large window we have for errors to be present in our calculations due to the presence of the human element whence taking our measurements and readings. INTRODUCTION: Our objective in this experiment is to determine the brake power, brake thermal efficiency, air-fuel...
