Measurements and Testing/Performance Parameters and Characteristics topics include: Measurment and testing, engine power and efficiencies, engine performance and characteristics.
Engine performance parameters are power, torque and specific fuel consumption. Brake torque is normally measured with a dynamometer – engine is mounted on a test bed and the shaft is connected to the dynamometer rotor.

Engine performance is often characterized by the engine operating behavior in the speed–load domain, for example, the behavior of emissions, fuel consumption, noise, mechanical and thermal loading.
