Fuel consumption is directly proportional to velocity. The Titanic was coal fired and had two reciprocating steam engines on each power wing, and one central shaft driven turbine which ran on the waste steam from the main engines. The intermediate shaft ran only (ahead) the others could run both ahead and astern. An SIRT boat burns up about 500 Gallons per hour and this is at a relative velocity of l7.5 knots . I don"t know any fuel consumption stats, the ship was in effect on a speed trial ( Able flying - signal flag A) and surely was running at full speed at the time of the accident.Do some research into the more technical angles of the Titanic and you might get something on fuel consumption ! Good luck.
Titanic was powered by coal. Not just any coal, since the coal miners were striking at the time of her maiden voyage, the owner of the ship took coal out of their other ships to ensure Titanic had enough coal for the voyage.
Stokers, or firemen, shoveled coal into furnaces, superheating the water which made steam to turn the propellers. Oil wasn't used until after the Great World War.
Titanic burned about a pound for every foot she traveled, so about 620 to 640 tons of coal a day were shoveled into the furnaces by hand.
Coal was used to fuel the Titanic.

The Titanic was powered by 24 double-ended and 5 single-ended coal-powered boilers
Titanic was powered by steam, generated from 29 boilers which were fed with coal.
The Titanic didn't use coal, it was powered by redstone
No - it was a vessel powered by diesel-engines.
Titanic was not powered by oil. That was not common until after the First World War. She was powered by coal. She required 825 tons of coal used per day

The Titanic didn't use coal, it was powered by redstone
Titanic had an electrical system which, among other things, powered 48 clocks.
The engines were powered by boilers
No, it was a cruise liner, it had coal powered engines
Two triple expansion steam engines and a small turbine
No - it was a vessel powered by diesel-engines.
Her hull was mostly dark because she was powered by coal which is very messy to load.
