Specific Energy Consumption Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Energy Consumption = Energy required by Train/(Weight of Train*Distance Travelled by Train)
E_sec = E/(W*D)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Energy Consumption - (Measured in Joule) - Specific Energy Consumption is a measure of the amount of energy consumed per unit of output, such as per unit of production or per unit of time.
Energy required by Train - (Measured in Joule) - Energy required by Train is the required kW-hour energy for train or other equipment.
Weight of Train - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Train is total weight of the train in tonns.
Distance Travelled by Train - (Measured in Meter) - Distance Travelled by Train is the total length or distance covered by the train during travel in km.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Energy required by Train: 1378 Watt-Hour --> 4960800 Joule (Check conversion here)
Weight of Train: 30000 Ton (Assay) (US) --> 875.000100008866 Kilogram (Check conversion here)
Distance Travelled by Train: 258 Kilometer --> 258000 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

E_sec = E/(W*D) --> 4960800/(875.000100008866*258000)

Evaluating ... ...

E_sec = 0.0219747483189423

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0219747483189423 Joule -->6.10409675526175E-06 Watt-Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

6.10409675526175E-06 ≈ 6.1E-6 Watt-Hour <-- Specific Energy Consumption

Energy Consumption at Axle of Train

Go Energy Consumption at Axle of Train = 0.01072*(Crest Speed^2/Distance Travelled by Train)*(Accelerating Weight of Train/Weight of Train)+0.2778*Specific Resistance Train*(Diameter of Pinion 1/Distance Travelled by Train)

Energy Available during Regeneration

Go Energy Consumption during Regeneration = 0.01072*(Accelerating Weight of Train/Weight of Train)*(Final Velocity^2-Initial Velocity^2)

Energy Available due to Reduction in Speed

Go Energy Consumption by Train = 0.01072*Accelerating Weight of Train*Final Velocity^2-Initial Velocity^2

Specific Energy Consumption

Go Specific Energy Consumption = Energy required by Train/(Weight of Train*Distance Travelled by Train)

Energy Consumption for Overcoming Gradient and Tracking Resistance

Go Energy Consumption for Overcoming Gradient = Tractive Effort*Velocity*Time Taken by Train

Energy Consumption for Run

Go Energy Consumption for Run = 0.5*Tractive Effort*Crest Speed*Time for Acceleration

Power Output of Motor using Efficiency of Gear Transmission

Go Power Output Train = (Tractive Effort*Velocity)/(3600*Gear Efficiency)

Maximum Power Output from Driving Axle

Go Maximum Output Power = (Tractive Effort*Crest Speed)/3600

Specific Energy Consumption Formula

Specific Energy Consumption = Energy required by Train/(Weight of Train*Distance Travelled by Train)
E_sec = E/(W*D)

What is the coefficient of adhesion?

When two solid surfaces are brought into contact, a finite normal force is needed to pull the two solids apart. This force is known as the force of adhesion or simply adhesion. The coefficient of adhesion is low in case of dc traction and high in ac traction.
