Nominal speed 514 rpm is recommended for mechanical propulsion engines.

The mean effective pressure Pe can be calculated using the following formula:

where:
Pe = mean effective pressure [bar]
P = output per cylinder [kW]
n = engine speed [r/min]
D = cylinder diameter [mm]
L = length of piston stroke [mm]
c = operating cycle (4)
