Question

400 MW diesel engine power plant has an overall efficiency of 30% , calculate the fuel consumption in lit/hr when the fuel heating value is 40 MJ/kg and its density is 900 kg/m³.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

• Formula To Estimate Maximum Engine Fuel Consumption. Gallon Per Hour (GPH) = (specific fuel consumption x HP)/Fuel Specific Weight. ...

• 300-hp Diesel Engine Example. GPH = (0.4 x 300)/ 7.2 = 105/7.2 = 16.6 GPH.

• 300-hp Gasoline Engine Example. GPH = (0.50 x 300)/ 6.1 = 150/6.1 = 24.5 GPH.
