Brake Specific Fuel Consumption given Brake Power and Fuel Consumption Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Brake Specific Fuel Consumption = Fuel Consumption Rate/Brake Power of 4 Stroke
BSFC = m_f/P_4b
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Brake Specific Fuel Consumption - (Measured in Kilogram per Second per Watt) - Brake Specific Fuel Consumption is a measure of the fuel efficiency of a diesel engine. It is defined as the amount of fuel consumed per unit of power produced by the engine.
Fuel Consumption Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Fuel Consumption Rate refers to the rate at which fuel is consumed by the engine.
Brake Power of 4 Stroke - (Measured in Watt) - Brake Power of 4 Stroke is the output of the engine at the shaft measured by a dynamometer in a 4 stroke diesel engine.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Fuel Consumption Rate: 0.355 Kilogram per Second --> 0.355 Kilogram per Second No Conversion Required
Brake Power of 4 Stroke: 5537 Kilowatt --> 5537000 Watt (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

BSFC = m_f/P_4b --> 0.355/5537000

Evaluating ... ...

BSFC = 6.41141412317139E-08

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.41141412317139E-08 Kilogram per Second per Watt -->0.23081090843417 Kilogram per Hour per Kilowatt (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.23081090843417 ≈ 0.230811 Kilogram per Hour per Kilowatt <-- Brake Specific Fuel Consumption

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is a Diesel Engine Power Plant?

A Diesel Engine Power Plant(also known as Stand-by power station) uses a diesel engine as prime mover for the generation of electrical energy. This power station is generally compact and thus can be located where it is actually required. This kind of power station can be used to produce limited amounts of electrical energy.

What are the types of Diesel Engines?

Diesel engines can be classified into two-stroke and four-stroke engines, as well as inline and V-type engines. Two-stroke engines are simpler and more compact than four-stroke engines, but are less fuel efficient and emit more pollutants. Four-stroke engines are more complex but offer better fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Inline engines are simpler and more compact than V-type engines, but V-type engines are smoother and more powerful.
