ITE = P_4i/(m_f*CV)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Indicated Thermal Efficiency - Indicated Thermal Efficiency is a measure of the engine's ability to convert the chemical energy in the fuel into useful mechanical work, based on the energy released during the combustion process.
Indicated Power of 4 Stroke - (Measured in Watt) - Indicated Power of 4 Stroke is a measure of the power output of a 4 stroke diesel engine based on the pressure exerted on the piston during the combustion process.
Fuel Consumption Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Fuel Consumption Rate refers to the rate at which fuel is consumed by the engine.
Calorific Value - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram) - Calorific Value is a measure of the amount of energy contained in a unit of fuel. It is a measure of the energy released when the fuel is burned.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Indicated Power of 4 Stroke: 7553 Kilowatt --> 7553000 Watt (Check conversion here)
Fuel Consumption Rate: 0.355 Kilogram per Second --> 0.355 Kilogram per Second No Conversion Required
Calorific Value: 42000 Kilojoule per Kilogram --> 42000000 Joule per Kilogram (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ITE = P_4i/(m_f*CV) --> 7553000/(0.355*42000000)

Evaluating ... ...

ITE = 0.506572769953052

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.506572769953052 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.506572769953052 ≈ 0.506573 <-- Indicated Thermal Efficiency

What is the relation between indicated power brake power and friction power?

The difference between indicated power and brake power is as follows. First of all, by indicated power we mean GROSS indicated power, the total work done by gas on piston during compression and power strokes. The brake power is the power available at the dynamometer. The difference is called friction power.
