1. Define all type specific fuel consumption.

Specific fuel consumption (sfc) is defined as
sfc = (rate of fuel flow into engine)/ (power output)

=

There are a lot of types of power output in engine that needs to be considered. Because of that,
there are also a variation of sfc.
a) Brake power gives brake specific fuel consumption:

=

b) Indicated power gives indicated specific fuel consumption:

=

c) Friction power gives friction specific fuel consumption:

=

d) Pumping power gives pumping specific fuel consumption:

=

e) Indicated gross power gives indicated gross specific fuel consumption:

=

f) Indicated net power gives indicated net specific fuel consumption:

=
