Best Answer

The effect on fuel mileage of increasing the load is to reduce the mileage. You cannot say more specifically than that until you know what vehicle is involved. The impact of a one ton increase on a small, 4 cylinder automobile will be different than the effect of a similar increase on a 6-cylinder SUV, an 18-wheel tractor-trailer, or a deisel-electric railroad engine.

In my Kia Spectra the answer is it changes from 50 mpg to 0mpg because the car will not move.

In my Dodge 3500 Cummins Diesel the additional weight on a long highway trip reduces my mileage from 18 mpg to about 17.5 mpg AS LONG AS the load does not change the aerodynamics. If the weight is a 10 foot tall 8 foot wide trailer the mileage drops to 12 mpg ish.

Dodge diesel fuel millage?

That depends on the year, driver and load. 12-22 mpg is common, the older trucks had about 1/2 the hp that the new ones do so they seemed to get better fuel mileage without a load.


What happens to the time period if you keep increasing load?

The effect on the time period if the load is increased is very nearly the same as the effect on the color if you keep increasing the inductance. If this description does not match your set-up, then we need to know much more about your set-up.

The magnetic flux that couples the rotor to the stator will weaken significantly reducing the motor's torque.


Effect of gearing ratio on fuel consumption?

Gear ratios will let the engine run at the speed and load at which it is most efficient, which is good for low fuel consumption and an exhaust that is as clean as possible.

Is the air conditioning actually hard ON THE engine?

It is not hard, but it is an extra load that will lower fuel economy.It is not hard, but it is an extra load that will lower fuel economy.


What is the effect of an inductive or capacitive load under no load conditions?

A load of any type,,,inductive or capacitive , would effect the circuit even if THOSE "loads" had no load on them. They would still have a load effect on the circuit they are connected to.Answer'Under no-load conditions' means that no load is connected to the supply. So your question doesn't make sense!
