This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Indicated Mean Effective Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Indicated mean effective pressure is the average pressure obtained in the combustion chamber during the entire working cycle.
Indicated Power of Engine - (Measured in Watt) - Indicated Power of Engine is the total power produced due to combustion of fuel within the IC engine's cylinder in one complete cycle neglecting any losses.
Number of Working Strokes per Minute - Number of working strokes per minute is the number of power strokes per minute for an engine.
Stroke Length of Piston - (Measured in Meter) - Stroke Length of Piston is the distance traveled by piston in cylinder from BDC to TDC or vice versa.
Cross Sectional Area of Engine Cylinder - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross Sectional Area of Engine Cylinder is the area of the cross-section of an engine cylinder.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Indicated Power of Engine: 4950 Watt --> 4950 Watt No Conversion Required
Number of Working Strokes per Minute: 500 --> No Conversion Required
Stroke Length of Piston: 190 Millimeter --> 0.19 Meter (Check conversion here)
Cross Sectional Area of Engine Cylinder: 9852 Square Millimeter --> 0.009852 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
pimep = IP*60/(n*ls*Ae) --> 4950*60/(500*0.19*0.009852)
Evaluating ... ...

Mean Effective Pressure

Indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) is the mean effective pressure calculated with indicated power (work). This parameter does not take into account the efficiency of the engine.
Brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) is the mean effective pressure calculated from the dynamometer power (torque). This is the actual output of the internal combustion engine, at the crankshaft. Brake mean effective pressure takes into account the engine efficiency.
Friction mean effective pressure (FMEP) is an indicator of the mean effective pressure of the engine lost through friction and it’s the difference between indicated mean effective pressure and brake mean effective pressure.
FMEP = IMEP – BMEP

How to Calculate Indicated Mean Effective Pressure?
