Of course, the more weight the car has to push the slower it will go so to keep the same pace you will need more gas intake to go faster.

Does load affects fuel consumption per hour of a diesel generator?

If the generator is to maintain the same rpm and power output, then a heavier load will increase the diesel consumption. The revolutions per minute the generator runs will increase as the load increases, thereby resulting in an increase in diesel consumption to maintain the high rpm. A Generator has a governor which attempts to maintain frequency at 60 Hz for North America. For the generator to increase the power output at the same frequency, the governor will increase the fuel and air to the engine. The fuel consumption will not be linear because of the curves associated with the particular engine. The fuel to KWH is know as the heat rate curve for the generator.


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.


Why Fuel consumption varying when the generator load varies?

with decrease in fuel consumption the amount of steam produced is also reduced.Hence when lower quantity of steam passes through the turbine the torque generated is less and since generator and turbine are coupled on a single shaft the generator torque also decrease which reduces load.


How as the blank applied to a circuit increases the power and the current also increase?

answer is actually voltage


Why induction motor current increase when load increase?

The slip is proportional to the load torque in an induction motor. This can also be seen as a reduction in speed causing extra current to be induced in the rotor to supply the increased torque.

What is causing your 1996 Honda losing power under load?

the load increases fuel consumption. you're car is probably out of gas. if its still losing power after refueling, try driving very closely behind semi-trucks. this will increase aerodynamics and thus power.


How can you calculate the fuel consumption of a 200kva generator?

1hrs diesel consumption with out load


What is the fuel consumption in gallons for a caterpillar 3512 engine at 50 percent load?

Marine 3512B (1902 bHp) engine fuel consumption at 50% load - 49.632 Gal/Hr.


How to calculate fuel consumption of a DG set?

The fuel usage will be based on the load applied to the generator and how many KW the generator outputs. The more load the higher the fuel consumption. You do not list the output of the generator nor the load so all I do is point you to the diesel fuel generator consumption chart. Click the link to see the chart where you can figure it yourself.


Does power load affect fuel consumption of portable generators?

Yes, the more load that is placed on the generator the more fuel it will use.


How do you calculate heat load for thermic fluid heter fuel to heat load?

It is easy to calculate Heat load if you know fuel Consumption in Heater. e.g -- If you are using Furnace Oil as Fuel and u are consuming 1000 Kg per day Then Heat Load per day will be = Calorific Value of FO x Fuel Consumption


In a circuit with resistive and inductive load what happens to the power factor as the resistive load increases?

The PF will increase


Does a increase in current result in increase in electrical consumption?

As you are billed on the consumption of wattage and wattage is the product of amp times volts the answer to your question is yes. An increase in current will result in an increase in electrical consumption.Additional AnswerResidential consumers are billed on their energyconsumption (there is no such thing as 'electrical consumption' as 'electricity' is not a measurable quantity!), expressed in kilowatt hours.There may be several reasons for an increase in load current. For example, if the residential load has a low power factor, it will be drawing more current than necessary, but the energy consumed will be no different from if the load had a high power factor.So, for residential loads, an increase in load current doesn't necessarily mean a higher energy consumption.


Why secondary terminal voltage decreases with increase in load?

An increase in load (equivalent to a decrease in resistance*) causes an increase in load current. This increases the internal voltage drop within the transformer, and the terminal voltage reduces accordingly.[*An increase in load means more current is being drawn by that load, so an increase in load is equivalent to a decrease in load resistance]
