Fuel Consumption Per Hour in Diesel Engine Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Fuel Consumption per Hour = Brake Specific Fuel Consumption*Brake Power
fc_h = BSFC*BP
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Fuel Consumption per Hour - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Fuel Consumption per Hour is defined as the fuel consumed by the CI engine in one hour of its working.
Brake Specific Fuel Consumption - (Measured in Kilogram per Second per Watt) - Brake Specific Fuel Consumption is the fuel consumption per unit time per unit brake power.
Brake Power - (Measured in Watt) - Brake Power is the power available at the crankshaft.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Brake Specific Fuel Consumption: 0.405 Kilogram per Hour per Watt --> 0.0001125 Kilogram per Second per Watt (Check conversion here)
Brake Power: 22.21 Watt --> 22.21 Watt No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

fc_h = BSFC*BP --> 0.0001125*22.21

Evaluating ... ...

fc_h = 0.002498625

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.002498625 Kilogram per Second -->8.99505 Kilogram per Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

8.99505 Kilogram per Hour <-- Fuel Consumption per Hour

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Actual Fuel Velocity of Injection Considering Orifice Flow Coefficient

Go Actual Fuel Velocity of Injection = Flow Coefficient of Orifice*sqrt((2*(Injection Pressure in pascals-Pressure in Cylinder during Fuel Injection)*100000)/Density of Fuel)

Volume of Fuel Injected Per Second in Diesel Engine

Go Volume of Fuel Injected per Second = Area of All Orifices of Fuel Injectors*Actual Fuel Velocity of Injection*Total Time Taken for Fuel Injection*Number of Injections per Minute/60

Energy Content per Unit Cylinder Volume of Mixture Formed in Cylinder of Diesel Engine

Go Energy Content per Unit Cylinder in Diesel Engine = (Density of Air*Lower Heating Value of Fuel)/(Relative Air Fuel Ratio*Stoichiometric Air Fuel Ratio)

Energy Content Per Unit Cylinder Volume of Mixture Formed Prior to Induction into Cylinder

Go Energy Content per Unit Cylinder = (Density of Mixture*Lower Heating Value of Fuel)/(Relative Air Fuel Ratio*Stoichiometric Air Fuel Ratio+1)

Fuel Velocity at Time of Release into Engine Cylinder

Go Fuel Velocity at Tip of Nozzle = sqrt(2*Specific Volume of Fuel*(Injection Pressure in pascals-Pressure in Cylinder during Fuel Injection))

Area of all Orifices of Fuel Injectors

Go Area of All Orifices of Fuel Injectors = pi/4*Diameter of Fuel Orifice^2*Number of Orifices

Total Time Taken for Fuel Injection in One Cycle

Go Total Time Taken for Fuel Injection = Time of Fuel Injection in Crank Angle/360*60/Engine RPM

Fuel Consumption Per Cycle

Go Fuel Consumption per Cycle = Fuel Consumption per Cylinder/(60*Number of Cycles per Minute)

Volume of Fuel Injected Per Cycle

Go Volume of Fuel Injected per Cycle = Fuel Consumption per Cycle/Specific Gravity of Fuel

Fuel Consumption per Cylinder

Go Fuel Consumption per Cylinder = Fuel Consumption per Hour/Number of Orifices

Fuel Consumption Per Hour in Diesel Engine

Go Fuel Consumption per Hour = Brake Specific Fuel Consumption*Brake Power

Number of Fuel Injections Per Minute for Four Stroke Engine

Go Number of Injections per Minute = Engine RPM/2

Fuel Consumption Per Hour in Diesel Engine Formula

Fuel Consumption per Hour = Brake Specific Fuel Consumption*Brake Power
fc_h = BSFC*BP

What is the fuel consumption per hour in diesel engine?

A correctly tuned diesel engine consumes fuel according to its power requirements. Simple really, the more power you produce the more fuel you use. Fuel consumption for diesel engines is normally more difficult to express than for petrol engines because of the vast variability in possible applications. It is normal to express this fuel consumption as a rate in terms of the weight of fuel consumed per unit of power produced.

How to Calculate Fuel Consumption Per Hour in Diesel Engine?

Fuel Consumption Per Hour in Diesel Engine calculator uses Fuel Consumption per Hour = Brake Specific Fuel Consumption*Brake Power to calculate the Fuel Consumption per Hour, The Fuel consumption per hour in diesel engine formula is defined as the fuel consumed by the diesel engine in one hour of its working. Fuel Consumption per Hour is denoted by fc_h symbol.

How to calculate Fuel Consumption Per Hour in Diesel Engine using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Fuel Consumption Per Hour in Diesel Engine, enter Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) & Brake Power (BP) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Fuel Consumption Per Hour in Diesel Engine calculation can be explained with given input values -> 32382.18 = 0.0001125*22.21.
