Laboratory experiments serve an important role in bridging the gap between theory and
practice. The Mechanical Engineering student at the Technological University of the
Philippines- Manila whose yet to experience operating and handling of a Prony Disk Brake
Dynamometer, a piece of equipment required to complete various experiments and conclude
an activity involving engine performance calculations. As a proposed solution to the problems
stated, the rescarchers designed and built a Prony Disk Brake Dynamometer for calculating
engine performance.
This project study is focused on the development of a gasoline engine test rig capable
of collecting data through experiments. The researchers were able to come up with two
experiments suitable for the designed machinc, namely: Dctermining Brake Power and Torque
at varying RPM; No Load and Full Load Conditions. These two experiments highlight the
performance curve of the engine in varying rpm at No-load and Full load condition: Brake
power and torque. At No-Load condition, it served as a based line reference for the engine
performance under its own resistance, it is crucial for understanding the engines efticiency and
frictional losses. On the other hand, Full load condition provides valuable data for further
optimization of the engine such as performance and engine design, this condition showcases
comprehensive understand on the engine's ability to deliver maximumn output power.
As a proposcd solution to address the requirement stated, the researchers designed and
fabricatecd a Prony Disk Brake Dynamometer intended for engine performance calculation. The
subject for testing for the Gasoline Engine Test Rig is DuroMax 7.5 HP/ GX 200 gasoline
cngine that is connected to the Prony disk brake machine via universal joint. The Prony Disk
Brake assembly consists of a momnent arm that extends from the disk brake caliper to a load
