By this time Jimmy Skunk was out

AS he drew near this old bramble-

his eyes fixed on that particular spot.
In minute or two there appeared
from behind heap of dry leaves some

DERIVES FORMULA FOR
COMPUTING HORSEPOWER
Let us see how we can derive a
formula for computing this horse
power for given engine. We have
two clements to find; namely. the
average effective pressure and the
distance through which the pressure
Is eIerted in minute.
The pressure is due TO the explosio ion
OF the gaseous mixture. This will he

Will be one half the bore uhe radius)
squared multiplied by STAG and the
total pressure Will be the pressure per
square inch multiplied By the area or
PXA.
Note from this. that the greater the
pore OF the engine the greater will be
ire total pressure and therefore the
size OF the bore is the element by
which the power OF the engine can be
estimated.
Having found the total pressure ex-
ertcd Tor each power stroke we must
next find the distance for which this
pressure Is exertcd in minute The
length of the stroke of the engine
therefore,, is the next element to come
into the formula. The stroke of the
engine Is the distance through which
the piston travels during each half
revolution Of. the engine. The stroke
Is usually given in inches and, as we
are trying TO find the number Of foot
pounds. tile stroke will therefore have
to be changed to feet or divided by IL
Let us call the length of the stroke

Having found the distance the pres
sure is exerted for each power stroke
we must next find what distance il is
exerted in minute. This obviously
will be the stroke times the number

expand. Engineers. by means of an
instrument called AN Indicator. can de-
tcrmine just what the pressure Of the
gases is for all positions OF the piston
OF an engine and therefore can quickly
tell what the average pressure Is. With
IL they can also find the pressuieS re-
qutred to exhaust the burned gases, to
draw In the fresh gases, and to com
prrss them. BY subtracting the av-
eiitge of these prcssures (Which repre-
sent consumed work) from the average
pressure during the power stroke. the
average effective pressure can quick
~ be determined
This average or mean effective pres
sure Will vary in different engines, as
II is effected by the compression of
the charge; by the mixture; by the
efficiency OF the cooling system, etc.
AS an average for automobile engines

suuare inch. In the formula we are
deductins let us call this average cf-
fcctive pressure +.
The indicator gives tho pressure cx-
erted on each square inch of the pis-
ton. We have therefore next TO lind
