I was watching History 2 and a mechanic on a tanker with a HUGE diesel engine said it uses 43,000 gallons a day. It's one of those really big ships that carries trailers like you'd see being pulled by a transfer truck.
43,000/day
1,792/hr
30/min
0.5/sec
Half a gallon of diesel per second is quite a lot of fuel! However, there was a whole lot of merchandise on that ship, so it's usage is probably quite efficient compared to the transfer trucks it's replacing.

How many gallons of gas does a 747 hold?
I'm afraid there is no one answer to your question, since there have been many different variants of the 747. The fuel capacity ranges from 48,445 gallons (183,380 L) in the ancient 747-100 model to 64,055 gallons (242,470 L) in the hi-tech 747-800 Intercontinental.
What is the freeboard of a Nimitz class aircraft carrier?
In general from the top of the radar tower to the keel (spine of the ship) 24 stories or roughly 240 feet. ------------ The document "INTERIM TECHNICAL GUIDANCE (ITG) - FACILITIES HOMEPORTING CRITERIA FOR NIMITZ CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIERS" states "e. Height - use the lightly loaded height of 215 ft above the waterline."

What is wariable?
Ordinarily you will have two variables in your experiment. These are the dependent variable, and the control variable.For example if you were measuring the fuel consumption in a car at various speeds, then you would vary the speed as your control variable, and measure the fuel consumption as the dependent variable.In this example, the speed is the easier one for you to vary.If I wished to determine the light bulb life at various voltages, it would make sense to control the voltage as your control variable, and measure the running time (or maybe the brightness) as a function of the voltage.

How much fuel is on an aircraft carrier for plane consumption?
It varies with the ship class and mission, but typical loadout is several million gallons of JP-5 aviation gasoline. Keep in mind also that carrier aircraft don't necessarily always refuel aboard ship, with current aerial refueling capability, which also stretches the onboard supply.
