Types of Mean Effective Pressures
Mean effective pressure (MEP) is defined by the location measurement and method of calculation, some commonly used MEPs are given here.
- Brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) - Mean effective pressure calculated from brake power
- Indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) - Mean effective pressure calculated from in cylinder pressure, average in cylinder pressure over engine cycle (720° in a 4 stroke, 360° in a 2 stroke).
- Friction mean effective pressure (FMEP) - Theoretical mean effective pressure required to over come engine friction, can be thought of as mean effective pressure lost due to friction. BMEP = IMEP - FMEP

Famous quotes containing the words types of, types, effective and/or pressures:
“... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
““More!” is as effective a revolutionary slogan as was ever invented by doctrinaires of discontent. The American, who cannot learn to want what he has, is a permanent revolutionary.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“In today’s world parents find themselves at the mercy of a society which imposes pressures and priorities that allow neither time nor place for meaningful activities and relations between children and adults, which downgrade the role of parents and the functions of parenthood, and which prevent the parent from doing things he wants to do as a guide, friend, and companion to his children.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
