FORMULA TO FIND FUEL CONSUMPTION WHEN

g/KWH IS GIVEN

Fuel consumption in L/H = specific consumption in kg/kwh X out put power in kW

Density of diesel in Kg/L

Density of diesel in Kg/L = 0.84

Example :

Finding fuel consumption in L/H for 500 kw output engine , g/kwh given is ≤205 ?

Given power in kw= 500

Given specific consumption = 205 g /kwh = 205/1000 kg/kwh = 0.205 kg/kwh

So

Fuel consumption in L/H = 0 .205 X 500 = 122.02

0.84
