Specific Fuel Consumption Puns

SFC for the JF-17 as measured on the ramp, with brakes on. Assuming the MIL and AB thrust matches what the book says then the SFC per delivered pound of thrust is 91.3% of book value at MIL power and 103.7% of book value at AB. So, as the module currently stands (and assuming my analysis is correct) the JF-17 is about 9% more efficient at MIL and about 4% less efficient at AB than real life. Probably safe to assume that the engine is performing a bit better, fuel wise, across the entire non-AB tested throttle settings.

Also, are astronaut diets made so that they have less gas-y foods and don’t unintentionally fart themselves on a space station?

Kind of an odd question, but i'm building a replica A-10 in KSP and i am trying to figure out efficiency values compared to the actual A-10. however, wherever i look, the efficiency of the A-10 engine (the TF-34 or CF-34) are in Thrust Specific Fuel Consumption, when in KSP the values are specific impulse. Maybe not the right sub for the question, but I thought maybe someone would know an easy way to calculate between the two?

TLDR: a simple TSFC to ISP calculation.

So I'm just starting to explore Eve. Managed to send a probe down there. Nearly got stranded in space due to the incredible dV requirements to even enter the orbit of that planet. I started looking for ways to reduce fuel consumption and I managed to fine tune the encounter until the apsis was as as close as possible to the planet without entering the atmosphere. I think I went from about 80 Mm to under 10 Mm. Tried it and it actually worked, had enough fuel to go back home.

So what's the logic here? From what I've learned closer orbits are higher velocity. So I assumed I'd need more dV to get into a low altitude orbit. Is this wrong?

Should I be fine tuning maneuvers to bring me as close to celestial bodies as possible in order to save fuel?

I'm playing KSP Enhanced Edition on PS4.

Hi, this is for a scholarship program analysing the effectiveness of the F35 in replacing the A10.

I already know the stats for the F35, just need them for the A-10. Any other information about both would be great.

Is there any way to calculate in advance how much fuel and idling vehicle/base will consume per hour?

Being newbie, my fuel resources are scarce, but I would like to keep at least the refrigerator and the farms active while Im offline.
Is it possible to see/calulate somewhere how much fuel and idling base or vehicle eats? Eg, a large fuel pack is 150 fuel, just to know how many packs I need per day to run my vehicles or base.
(I know if I keep a factory crafting that will use more - so thats why I ask about idling state, when I make sure no crafting station is crafting anything)

Here in Alaska gas prices just hit $3.90 a gallon, I'm wondering what I can do to lower consumption. I got a set of ksuspension 12 port injectors that I'll install but I don't know how much that'll help. Thanks!

I have a 228i tuned by the last owner. I’m averaging 12.2l/100km (19.3mpg) I personally think it’s a bit high leading me to believe the tune might not be well done. Anyone with this engine could you guys share your fuel consumption? Cheers!

I realize it's a confusing title so let me explain. I was thinking about this as I was listening to The Beatles' White Album. The White Album was famously recorded in a period of tension among the band, with most of the songs being written entirely by individual members without input from the others--the band was hardly functioning as a single unit, by all accounts (Ringo even famously left the group briefly during the recording).

And yet, everyone considers the resulting material to be as much a part of The Beatles canon as everything that was recorded when the band was more of a cohesive unit, and I'm curious about that. And on one level, the most obvious response is--well, of course it is, because it's all attributed to The Beatles, so these aren't Paul McCartney songs, these aren't John Lennon or George Harrison songs, they're Beatles songs. And I just wonder how much that simple act of attributing a song or album to an artist shapes our consumption of it? Would we enjoy Back in the USSR as much if it were Paul's first solo single, and not a Beatles song? Would solo John have the creative freedom to put something out like Revolution 9? John Lennon even remarked about the song Let It Be, stating, "Nothing to do with The Beatles. It could’ve been Wings. I don’t know what he’s thinking when he writes ‘Let It Be’."

There are plenty of other examples too. Anyone who's read about the making of Iggy Pop's The Idiot will know that David Bowie was integral to the creation of that album, and he's even responsible for writing the majority of the music on it, yet it's Iggy's name on the front of the album. I'm sure Bowie wanted it that way, and in this instance it's a conscious choice Bowie made because it allowed him greater freedom to make certain types of music that he wanted to under someone else's name.

And again, there are plenty of other examples. Why is The Social Network's soundtrack attributed to Trent Reznor and not Nine Inch Nails? How does that impact our willingness to listen to it, and our reception of it? Did that attribution impact the likelihood of the score ultimately winning an Oscar? Amusingly, The Social Network soundtrack also features a Nine Inch Nails track, 2 Ghosts I, attributed to Nine Inch Nails.

When Ozzy put out his first solo album, The Blizzard of Oz, he included a track called Dee that is entirely the creation of guitarist Randy Rhoads with no creative input from Ozzy whatso

Hi all. I’ve been driving a brand new CX5 2.0 Zenith Manual transmission for over a week and the fuel consumption never goes below 9L/100km (sorry in advance, I don’t know what the gallons/miles would be). Any advice? I shift gears when the car itself indicates, and drive mostly in low rpm. Thanks!

I couldn't find any correlation on the internet, and I need any small formula to aid my school essay, is there any way, or a formula that I can link?

I get that the AC uses electricity which is being generated by the alternator. But isn't this electricity generated regardless of whether or not AC is turned on?

Hello,

I am writing an essay on Reginald Mitchell and one of the assignments is to talk about environment when it comes to his invention, so I decided to compare the fuel consumption of his Spitfire MK I and Stukas. The problem is that the sources I found for the TSFC seem funny.

In this source, the fuel consumption for the Spitfire at 7000ft 2133m at 200mph322 km/h is 24 Gallons per hour, which roughly translates to 90 litres per hour.

The source for the Ju 87 B-2 claims that the the consumption is 275 litres per hour over the speed of 200 km/h.

Is my German wrong or does the German plane need 3 times more fuel than its British counterpart?

Thanks.

I am currently working on a theoretical design project in my Aerospace Fundamentals class, and have encountered a snag. How does using 2 powerplants affect the SFC and/or the fuel fraction equations used to estimate the weight of the helicopter?

thx

Generator can hold 12.5 L of fuel in total.

Min Consumption 1.5 L per day or 0.0625 L/h = 8 Days with max fuel

--- Common 24/24 Appliances ---

Lights -> Consumes 0.002 L/h so with 1 generator running at min consumption you can place down 31 Lights

Minifridge -> 0.13 L/h or 3.12 L/day -> Means your generator can last 4 Days with one of them

Popsicle Fridge (the only full freezer in the game) -> 0.08 L/h per side for a total of 0.16 L/h or 3.84 L/day -> Means your generator can last only 3 day and 14 hours

Industrial Fridge (the most common fridge you can find in food stores) -> 0.13 L/h or 3.12L/day -> Means your generator can last 4 days

>>> Note that you can have many generators connected to your house that are running at the same time. Beware that you will consume on average 1 electrical scraps per day per generator and you need to have it in your main inventory with a screwdriver to be able to repair the generator (if you have the scraps in your backpack it won't work)

--- Calculation for an Average Setup ---

In long runs usually you want to have:

1 x Popsicle Fridge - For your farmed vegetables

2 x Industrial Fridge - For your main food that you have to consume in the month. Usually 1 is better to be used for already cooked food and the other for ingredients you have to consume ASAP

30 x Lights to have a good illumination inside and around the base so you don't risk to get ambushed.

Total Consumption: 0.48 L per hour or 11.52 L per day

This means that you need at least 2 generators running at the same time if you want to maintain this setup for at least 2 day without refueling it.

This also means that if you want to have 8 days without thinking about it you will need to connect 8 generators. But careful in this case you will use too many electrical scraps. So my advice is to have 4 generators and refuel them every a few days

--- Tricks ---

- Don't worry too much about the generators when you go out of the town. Once you get the house our of loaded area your generator won't consume any energy and you don't need to worry about it at all. I'm not sure the exact area range but I think is somewhere around 100/200 tiles.

- If you place the generator on a roof and cut out the path to get there using staircases but instead you have to use the escape fabric it won't attract zombies because they can't create a path to follow in order to reach it. Personally I destroyed the staircase going between the 1st an

I'm an American living in France, so I'm used to paying at the pump in dollars per gallon and having a fuel efficiency in miles per gallon (yay, freedom units!); OR paying at the pump in euros per liter and measuring fuel efficiency in liters per 100km (yay, metric!). It's nearly impossible to have do a straight up mental conversion, but, hey, in each context, I can manage.

So I got to thinking: What do the English use? I feel like they pay in pence per liter and measure in miles per gallon, but that can't be right, can it?

Uhhh is it just me or does this baby burn a lot of gas? Even on highway and stuff I'm kind of surprised. Although I'm going from a 2013 Mazda to this beast.

I'm still learning manual so if someone can give me a good video or perhaps provide an explanation of how/when/why to change gears and how it affects fuel consumption would be dope. My dad is an old school European and has been teaching me but I feel like he's wrong on a lot of things.

Thanks!

I think it’s full of crap. In the summer my car says I am averaging 4.5L/100km. It’s a 45L tank so that means I should be getting 1000kms on a full tank. I’m only getting about 600kms on a tank. I think that is like 7.5L/100kms. Why is that?

Hello, I am hoping to get a e92 325i soon and I am slightly worried about fuel consumption, because I have seen people reporting anywhere from 11.7 l/100km to 7.8 l/100km (30 to 20mpg).. Of course this depends a lot on the driving style, but if I can expect my car to regularly get 11l/100km, I think the car would spend most of its life in the garage with the cost of fuel here in eu.. I am wondering what kind of fuel consumption do you guys get with your 325i? Also should I be looking at the n52 or n53 engine? I know that you're going to recommend getting an 330 because it's the same thing with more power, but even the 325i is pushing it because of registration and insurance since I'm young, so that's not happening..

Hi guys! I bought the Mini Countryman 2010 maybe 2 months ago and I still haven't found a way to access the fuel consumption menu. I tried to find it all over the internet, but everyone just navigates to it using the button on the indicator, however when I use it I get the range that I have, but fuel consumption is not in that menu. Any help would be appreciated

Hi folks!

I would like a opinion about my fuel consumption, I don’t know if it’s good or bad.

I drive a 87’ 300e m103 automatic and completely stock.

My daily work commute is around 60km, without highway or city and I drive at speeds between 70 and 140km/h and I drive like somebody else is paying for gas.

Today I put gas in the car and for the last ~500km I needed ~54l of gas and that’s about 10.6 l/100km or 22.2mpg.

What do you think?

I recently bought a 2015 high altitude, 2.4 liter with the 6 speed auto and 4x4

A full tank is getting me about 350km

Typical or no?

It is winter here, and it has been very cold since I bought it. As in, we have had two days in two weeks warmer than -25c

How is your economy?

Otherwise super pleased.

I'm not complaining at all, just genuinely curious. My beautiful straight 6, 4.5L petrol 1FZ-FE 105 series landcruiser gives me infinite smiles per gallon. But I was wondering if there is any internal mods I can do to make it more fuel effiencient. I find it too hard to walk past it to my daily driver everyday without itching to just drive the cruiser and the bank account is starting to notice. I was thinking a turbo or new exhaust to alleviate back pressure but I don't want to compromise the undeniable bulletproofness of the engine. Any ideas? (Once again not complaining, just curious, I wouldn't trade this beast for anything)

what kind of fuel economy do you 660 tuono lads get on the highway (mostly) cruising along at say 100-110 km/h?

I just did a little test and found out that Rocketeer auto bear is passive fuel consumption based, wich means you can use whatever hardpoint you like, the duration will be the same.

So the relation damage/fuel can be ignored on auto bear.

Also, Deadlines, Never Gona Give You Up and Running Fumes don't affect Auto Bear.

From the onboards, it looks like Jeddah is full throttle (or high rpm) for a significant part of the lap. Will this cause the cars to use more fuel since they’re running at a high rpm or less fuel since they’re not stopping and starting as much (akin to highway driving)? Or, will it have no effect at all?

Edit: will this also allow for more opportunity to lift and coast, meaning lower fuel consumption?

My initial idea was to die and respawn on starting planet, but It respawns me on Vesania, obviously. If I invite another player to my session, will he start on the starting planet?
