Answer / anthony joseph
BHP stands for Brake Horse Power, which is a measure of the
power produced by an engine. It is called brake horse power
because it brakes the acceleration of the output shaft.
Power required to stop acceleration of wheel is the power
produced by engine, since T=I*alpha; T-torque produced by
engine, Alpha, angular acceleration of engine, I- Moment of
Inertia of wheel(which is forced to rotate without
acceleration) and Power = T*omega; omega-angular velocity of
wheel.Itis measured using a brake dynamometer. BHP= IP +
FHP; IP- Indicated Power of engine; FHP- Frictional Horse
Power of engine.

Answer / sameer kumar
BHP stands 4 Brake Horse Power.It comprises of the Indicated
power(IP) i.e, power obtained from the engine and the
Frictional Horse Power(FHP) due to frictional losses on the
shaft.. Basically the power obtained due to the rotation of
crankshaft..
It is measured by using a brake dynamometer along with a
load...

Answer / arjun
BHP is Brake horse power.
it shows that how much power get the fly wheel after all
losses.ie FHP friction horse power.

Answer / see bee
BHP stands for Brake horse power
As the name implies it is the braking power required to
stall a engine Means horse power required to stop engine
rotation
