What is the difference between horse power and brake horse power?
Answers:
'Horse power' is the general name given to the rate at which work is done. (33,000 ft lbf per minute in old units). 'Brake' horse power is the power generated at the brake of an engine and therefore measures the power output. To avoid confusion It should be understood that the 'brake' in this connection is a device used to measure power and to load the engine. Indicated horse power, on the other hand, is the power generated within the cylinders of the engine and is therefore somewhat larger than bhp. It is called indicated horse power (ihp) because it is measured with an instrument called an indicator.
bhp=base horse power. there really isnt any difference in bhp and hp. however, there is a difference between bhp and whp. whp=wheel horse power. now, depending on what type of car u have, it could be fwhp (front wheel horsepower) or rwhp (rear wheel horsepower). bhp is what the power that the engine makes, and whp is how much power is at the wheels.
break horse power is a car
horse power is a nag
lol
The horsepower output of an engine is measured in terms of BHP or Brake Horse Power. The name is derived from the braking device which is used to hold the engine stationary while it is trying to move, while the horse power is measured in labs on a dynamometer.
not a lot
