STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Indicated Power of Engine: 4950 Watt --> 4950 Watt No Conversion Required
Number of Working Strokes per Minute: 500 --> No Conversion Required
Stroke Length of Piston: 190 Millimeter --> 0.19 Meter (Check conversion here)
Cross Sectional Area of Engine Cylinder: 9852 Square Millimeter --> 0.009852 Square Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

I_mep = IP*60/(n*l_s*A_e) --> 4950*60/(500*0.19*0.009852)

Evaluating ... ...

I_mep = 317328.033848324

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

317328.033848324 Pascal -->0.317328033848324 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.317328033848324 ≈ 0.317328 Megapascal <-- Indicated Mean Effective Pressure

Mean Effective Pressure

Indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) is the mean effective pressure calculated with indicated power (work). This parameter does not take into account the efficiency of the engine.
Brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) is the mean effective pressure calculated from the dynamometer power (torque). This is the actual output of the internal combustion engine, at the crankshaft. Brake mean effective pressure takes into account the engine efficiency.
Friction mean effective pressure (FMEP) is an indicator of the mean effective pressure of the engine lost through friction and it’s the difference between indicated mean effective pressure and brake mean effective pressure.
FMEP = IMEP – BMEP
