I often hear ppl say TORQUE, BHP,DISPLACEMENT,RPM
Can anyone explain these terms to me pls.....??

torque - turning power of driveshaftOriginally posted by Car84:I often hear ppl say TORQUE, BHP,DISPLACEMENT,RPM
Can anyone explain these terms to me pls.....??
how much power transmitted to shaft at certain rpm., measured in Nm
bhp - brake horsepower. how many horses are uner the hood basically.
HENG@... why its called brake horsepower?
displacement - capacity... as in 1000cc? etc usually a bigger engine has bigger displacement. basically just the volume of e engine i guess
rpm - revs per minute -

it;s because measuring how much force is needed to bring the car to a complete stop is BHP
more accurate than measuring how much the engine can produce..
because it measures how much power the car actually has... -
wat is the difference between torque and bhp??(can explain in detail)
does the torque and bhp has anything to do with acceleration of the car?? -
horsepower determine the top speed of the car, while torque determine its acceleration. so it isn't very useful to have a car that has the highest horsepower in the world but has only 1Nm of torque

i explain to u in the easy term i feel most can understand.
1.Torque is the thing tat gv u the feeling/or the feel of the power of the car,the g-force tat make u stick to the sit/the feeling tat gv u the pressure lik something tat is pressing against you/---- of the car when the driver floor the acc.
2.Bhp is the more of the car power to reach high speed.
3.For exp, a car got 400 bhp, but only 20 Nm of torque, it mean it can reach a speed of say mayb 200km/h but very very slow den reach tat speed.
4. If a car got 200 bhp but hv 200NM of torque, mean it can reach the speed of 200km/h at a shorter time compared to te above vehicle.
Hope u can understand wat i say, if still cannot understand , i try to think of a better a way to reply u. -
1 BHP=??KM/H
anyone know?? -
torque is a vector. With the SI unit of Newtons per metre (N/m) it is the measure of the Force exerting itself perpendicular to the radii of the leverage on the engine. In layman terms, it is a measure of the "twisting" strength of the engine.Originally posted by Car84:I often hear ppl say TORQUE, BHP,DISPLACEMENT,RPM

BHP is also measured in terms of the SI for power, measured in Kilowatts. it measures how much energy is needed over a unit of time to stop the engine that is producing peak power at a certain rpm. it is easier to understand the reference from horsepower, which is the amount of energy produced by an engine per unit time, but the 2 are often used interchangeably as they are minutely different.
displacement measures the capacity of your engine. it is measured in the SI unit of volume which is cm3. how much displacement an engine has is found by finding the cross sectional surface area of one cylinder (A = Pi x radius squared), multiply it by the stroke of the engine (how far up and down a crank pushes the piston) and multiplying this figure by the number of cylinders.
eg, a 4 cylinder engine with a bore 84mm (radius 42 mm) and a stroke of 84 mm would have a displacement of:
Displacement = A x stroke x number of cylinders
= pi x 42 x 42 x 84 x 4
= 1998 cc.
displacement is linked to torque closely as a large cc engine would be able to produce more "twisting" force due to more air and fuel being able to be contained within a large cylinder.
RPM stands for revolutions per minute. so 1000 rpms means that the engine is turning 1000 rounds per minute, 9000 rpms means 9000 rounds per minute etc. -
there r many factors affecting this... weight is the most important--more horsepower is needed to move a heavier car, so lets say if there r 2 cars, one weighing 2000kg and one 900kg, and both has 300hp, obviously the 900kg one will have a higher top speed and acceleration. the suspension settings also count--if the suspension is modified to make the body lower, the aerodynamics of the car will be better and therefore resulting in a slightly higher top speed(thats why many civic esi look so lowOriginally posted by Car84:1 BHP=??KM/H
anyone know?? ) additional accessories like spoliers also helps in aerodynamics, but only at very high speeds. in s'pore, there is no place for u to really speed, so spoilers are mainly for show only...
