distance per vehicle per unit fuel mass; e.g., km/kg. [11] distance per vehicle per unit energy; e.g., miles per gallon equivalent (mpg-e). Energy consumption (reciprocal efficiency) [3] is expressed terms of fuel consumption: [2] volume of fuel (or total energy) consumed per unit distance per vehicle; e.g. l/100 km or MJ/100 km.
Fuel economy is the distance travelled per unit volume of fuel used; for example, kilometres per litre (km/L) or miles per gallon (MPG), where 1 MPG (imperial) ≈ 0.354006 km/L. The higher the value, the more economic a vehicle is (the more distance it can travel with a certain volume of fuel).
kilometre (km) or kilometer is a metric unit used, outside the US, to measure the length of a journey; the international statute mile (mi) is used in the US; 1 mi = 1.609344 km; nautical mile is rarely used to derive units of transportation quantity.
In 2019, Wizz Air stated a 57 g/RPK CO₂ emissions (equivalent to 18.1 g/km of fuel, 2.27 L/100 km [104 mpg ‑US] per passenger), 40% lower than IAG or Lufthansa (95 g CO₂/RPK - 30 g/km of fuel, 3.8 L/100 km [62 mpg ‑US] per passenger), due to their business classes, lower-density seating, and flight connections.
The fuel consumption per mile or per kilometre is a more appropriate comparison for aircraft that travel at very different speeds. [citation needed] There also exists power-specific fuel consumption, which equals the thrust-specific fuel consumption divided by speed. It can have units of pounds per hour per horsepower.
where T is the time per revolution, R is the distance from the camshaft centreline to the cam tip, r is the radius of the camshaft (that is, R − r is the maximum lift), θ 1 is the angle where opening begins, and θ 2 is where the valve closes (seconds, mm, radians). This has to be factored by the width (circumference) of the valve throat.
Moreover, the average and the maximum velocities have been increased to 46.5 km/h and 131.3 km/h respectively. The distance covered is 23.25 km (more than double the 11 kilometers of the NEDC). [5] The key differences between the old NEDC and new WLTP test are that WLTP: [4] has higher average and maximum speeds
Traditionally, litres per mil were used in Norway and Sweden, but both have aligned to the EU standard of L/100 km. [1] Fuel consumption is a more accurate measure of a vehicle's performance because it is a linear relationship while fuel economy leads to distortions in efficiency improvements. [2]
