What is the horsepower equivalent of an engine with 132 power?
1 Answers
An engine with 132 power is approximately 180 horsepower. Engine Power: Refers to the rate at which the engine performs work. The engine's power is not equal to the vehicle's power, as there are intermediate losses in mechanical transmission. Additionally, safety considerations that lead to thicker and heavier vehicle body designs can also result in engine power loss. Therefore, a vehicle with a small-displacement engine is not necessarily slower or inferior in performance compared to one with a high-power engine. Mechanical Loss Power: The work done by the engine per unit time is called the engine's power. Corresponding to indicated work and effective work, it is referred to as indicated power and effective power (output power), respectively. The difference between these two is called mechanical loss power.
