 Torque curve graphs - diddy1234
Looking at torque curve graphs for engines :-

www.google.co.uk/search?q=torque+curve&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=eVtOU-aBMu-B7QbtxYDIAQ&sqi=2&ved=0CC4QsAQ&biw=1244&bih=500

At the point where the torque and power overlap, is that the point where an engine is most efficient ?

Just wondered to myself

No

Although it's not an acceptable academic reference;


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_specific_fuel_consumption

and in particular

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brake_specific_fuel_consumption.svg

may be helpful

No it's just a nifty way of finding 5252rpm.


Assuming lbft and bhp are being measured.
