Engine test Engine test
Please tell me ,what method should used on diesel engine to measure torque,power at various speed using rope brake dynamometer? (Max capacity of engine=3.5hp at 1500 rpm).

This brief provides a high level summary of advancements in Mentor’s AMS Verification solutions since we saw you all last year at DAC 2019 in Las Vegas. Products featured: Analog FastSPICE Platform, Symphony Mixed-Signal Platform, Solido Variation Designer, and Solido Characterization Suite. Download NowThis resource will help you find key sessions-panels at DAC from researchers, customers, and our expert technologists; and various resources detailing the recent innovations in HLS, Verification, and RTL Low-Power since DAC 2019. Download NowAmong the challenges in the design flow has been aligning the metrics for design-for-test and for functional safety. This paper describes using logic built-in-self-test as both a functional safety mechanism and as a part of in-system testing, which allows for alignment of metrics required for safety certifications. Download NowIoT systems are multi-domain designs that often require AMS, Digital, RF, photonics and MEMS elements within the system. Tanner EDA provides an integrated, top-down design flow for IoT design that supports all these design domains.

RE: Engine test
Vary the load to hit each required RPM set point, and record.
You should be aware that a rope break dyno is going to give you, at best, a rough estimate of output. It is very difficult to get accurate, repeatable numbers with such a system.
RE: Engine test
You react the rope brake's torque against a scale, record the scale's reading, and also record the engine rpm at the same instant. You compute torque from the brake's arm length and the scale reading, and you compute HP from the torque and RPM.
The first thing you might try to acquire or make is a water brake (Froude) dynamometer, or an eddy current dynamometer, either of which have effective cooling so you can take data at a slower pace.
The instrumentation that comes with commercial water brake dynos will measure torque and rpm simultaneously, and plot torque (and HP) vs. rpm in real time as you ramp the throttle open and control the dyno to find peak torque at each speed.
Speed shops around here can be heard making dyno pulls that last just a few seconds, which is probably a good way to tune an engine for drag racing.
... but that's not how SAE does it.
At sae.org you will find extensive instructions for gathering engine data that meets standards for publishing and comparison, but a rope brake won't do it, because you need to let the oil temperature stabilize at each data point, etc.
Join SAE for a modest discount on tech pubs.
