If IP is in the numerator, as we know IP is always greater than BP. The efficiency will be above 100 percent. Which is not possible.
So, it should be BP/IP for all machines.

Mechanical efficiency = brake power /ip.

Yes, Chander Kant you are right for mechanical efficiency of an IC engine but this mechanical efficiency is for the compressor & this efficiency is also right for compressor mechanical efficiency.

But I think mechanical efficiency is the ratio of brake power to indicated the power.
Am I right? Please suggest me.
