IT CAN BE CALCULATED THEORETICALLY & PRACTICALLY:-
1. theoretically---
For this you must know the SFC(specific fuel consumption) of the engine at the given load.
for example(let us consider a diesel generator of 20 kw having SFC as 232 gm/kw-hr at 75% load)
(20x0.75)x232
therefore Fuel consumption in ltrs/hr= =4.094ltr/hr
0.85x1000
here 0.75 is for 75% load
0.85 is density of diesel
1000 is factor to convert milli-litre into litres
consumtpn
You can calculate fuel consumption per Kilowatt hour in diesel engine by multiplying the miles per gallon by the wattage per hour that the engine runs. This gives the net Kilowatt hour fuel consumption.
The consumption of lubricating oil for a diesel engine depends on the operating conditions and the design of the engine. There are some averages depending on the year of the engine. Pre 1980's engine are around 25% of fuel consumption. Pre 1990 engines are around 20% of fuel consumption and more recently built diesel engines are around 1% of fuel consumption.
is the fuel consume by the the engine
Diesel Engine SFC is Specific Fuel Consumption of Diesel Engine. This used to know how efficient Fuel utilization of Diesel Engine to produce electricity. Usually formula of SFC is Fuel Consumption divided by Electricity Production (liter/kWh).
1hrs diesel consumption with out load
To calculate the diesel average for a vehicle with separate transit mixtures for the front and rear engines, you first need to determine the fuel consumption for each engine over a specific distance. Measure the total distance traveled and the total fuel consumed by each engine separately. Then, calculate the average diesel consumption for each engine by dividing the total fuel used by the distance traveled. Finally, average the two results to get the overall diesel average for the vehicle.
There are several causes for high fuel consumption in a diesel engine. These include a difference in the weight of the vehicle, increased usage of air conditioning, and a difference in tire pressure.
Depends entirely on the load being applied to the engine.
The fuel consumption of the Perkins diesel engine 1106D typically ranges from 180 to 220 grams per kilowatt-hour (g/kWh) under full load conditions. However, actual fuel consumption can vary based on specific application, load, and operating conditions. For precise figures, it's advisable to consult the engine's technical manual or manufacturer specifications.
You'd be lucky to get 30mpg tops
The formula to calculate fuel consumption in the main engine of a ship is: [ \text{Fuel Consumption (kg/h)} = \frac{\text{Power Output (kW)} \times \text{Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC, kg/kWh)}}{1000} ] Where the Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) is the amount of fuel consumed per unit of power produced, typically expressed in kilograms per kilowatt-hour (kg/kWh). This formula helps in estimating the fuel needed based on the engine's power output and efficiency.
