Small-Scale engines are very widely used, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. Its use is intended for various daily activities that require small-scale power. The performance small scale engine is very interesting to investigate for suitable in-field applications. In this study, a small-scale engine was investigated to measure torque (T), brake power (BP), brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) using a rope brake dynamometer with configuration of I. The goal of study is to get an influence of the increase of engine speed on torque, brake power, and BMEP. The experiment was done at engine speed in the range of 1400 to 3500 rpm for each load of 3,4, and 5 kg. The results show an increase in engine speed tends to increase the torque, brake power, and BMEP generated for each load used. The maximum of torque, brake power, and BMEP were 4.53 Nm, 1.67 kW, and 349 kPa respectively at 3521 rpm and the load of 5 kg. The result of brake power of the experiment was compared to report at the literature with differences about 2.3%. The value of BMEP was in the range of standard for small scale engines. This result has given a contribution combined influence of speed and load on the T, BP, and BMEP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
