    highest brake thermal efficiency heat engine recorded?

    scania`s DTC1101 turbocompund diesel in mid-90`s has the brake effinciency 46%, todays scania`s turbocompound engines might be also somewhere there if not higher. However, the highest brake efficiency is (was) reached by large low-speed Sulzer 2-stroke engine, uniflow scavenging, turbocharged...
