A car needs fuel to run. So when a car increases speed, its need for fuel increases too. The faster the car is going, the greater the need for fuel to burn will be. The same is true of when a car decreases speed. When a car decreases its speed, it does not have to burn as much fuel.
-------
The wind resistance against a car varies with the cube of its velocity. This means that the amount of power needed to overcome the wind resistance is 8 times as much when the speed is 2 times as much. At 50 or 55 miles per hour, most cars are putting over half the fuel they consume into overcome atmospheric resistance, where at 25 miles per hour it would be less than ten percent. This in turn means that the number of miles per gallon of gas is reduced by quite a lot as the car goes faster.
What else can I help you with?
What is the fuel consumption vs speed formula for determining the relationship between the amount of fuel consumed and the speed at which a vehicle is traveling?
The fuel consumption vs speed formula is typically represented as a linear equation, where fuel consumption (FC) is directly proportional to speed (S). This relationship can be expressed as FC a bS, where 'a' is the base fuel consumption rate and 'b' is the rate of change in fuel consumption per unit increase in speed. This formula helps determine how fuel consumption varies with different speeds of a vehicle.
How much will old oil increase fuel consumption?
It will not increase fuel consumption.
Does driving with all lights on increase fuel consumption?
No it does not affect fuel consumption.
Does overdrive increase fuel consumption?
No, fuel consumption is decreased, the vehicle rev's lower.
Why does the fuel consumption increase with increasing power but the air consumption that has been measured remains almost the same?
Fuel consumption increases with increasing power because more fuel is required to generate the additional power. Even though air consumption remains almost the same, the engine needs more fuel to mix with the air in order to produce the higher power output. This results in increased fuel consumption without a significant change in air consumption.
Why is driving at 30 mph better than driving at 40 mph?
I'm guessing that the answer they're looking for here is that as the speed increases the wind resistance increases more. This means that if you want to go 10 % faster maybe your fuel consumption will increase with 15%. Staying below the speed where wind resistance really begins to hurt lets you get away with using less fuel, which is better for the environment.
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.
Does silencer increases fuel consumption?
Not enough that you would ever notice.
What is the function of an accelerator in car?
The function of an accelerator in a car is to increase the speed of the car. When the accelerator is pressed, the car gains speed because an increased amount of fuel is added to the motor's consumption.
Does removing a catalyst converter increase fuel consumption?
Yes, removing a catalytic converter can increase fuel consumption because it can lead to inefficient combustion of fuel, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Additionally, the engine may not run as efficiently without the catalytic converter, causing it to burn more fuel.
Why Is it important to reduce drag?
Reducing drag is important because it increases efficiency, saves energy, and improves performance in various applications such as vehicles, aircraft, and sports equipment. Drag reduction helps to decrease fuel consumption, increase speed, and enhance overall aerodynamic stability.
Does the silencer increase fuel consumption?
Not enough that you would ever notice.
