It's like buying a house and the builder overstates the square footage by a couple hundred. Nobody would stand for that, so why should we stand for this?

IHP = Horsepower developed by the engine.
Indicated mean effective pressure = The total force acting on a piston/rotor face.
IHP=PLANK/33,000
P=IMEP
L= Lenght of stroke(ft.)
A=Area of piston head/rotors face
N=rpm dvided by 2 (pistons only)
K=Number of cylinders/rotors
33,000 is the number of foot pounds in 1hp
Friction Horse power
FHP= The horse power needed to over come friction of the moving engineparts.
Brake horsepower = IHP-FHP
