    indicated or gross horsepower is the theoretical capability of the engine [PLAN/ 33000]; brake/net/crankshaft horsepower (power delivered directly to and measured at the engine's crankshaft) equals indicated horsepower minus frictional losses within the engine (bearing drag, rod and crankshaft windage losses, oil film drag, etc.);

    AMFA specifies the energy content of 100 cubic feet of natural gas to be equal to 0.823 gallons-equivalent of natural gas, and the gallon equivalency of natural gas is considered to have a fuel content, similar to that for alcohol fuels, equal to 0.15 gallons of fuel.

  4. Motor oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

    By far the greatest cause of motor-oil pollution in oceans comes from drains and urban street-runoff, much of it caused by improper disposal of engine oil. [50] One US gallon (3.8 L) of used oil can generate a 32,000 m 2 (8 acres) slick on surface water, threatening fish, waterfowl and other aquatic life. [49]

  5. Barrel of oil equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_of_oil_equivalent

    Metric regions commonly use the tonne of oil equivalent (toe), or more often million toe (Mtoe). Since this is a measurement of mass, any conversion to barrels of oil equivalent depends on the density of the oil in question, as well as the energy content. Typically 1 tonne of oil has a volume of 1.08 to 1.19 cubic metres (6.8 to 7.5 bbl).

    A high-performance 327 cu in (5.4 L) variant followed, turning out as much as 375 hp (280 kW) (SAE gross power, not SAE net power or the current SAE certified power values) and raising horsepower per cubic inch to 1.15 hp (0.86 kW). From 1954 to 1974, the small-block engine was known as the "Turbo-Fire" or "High Torque" V8.

    A fairly definitive source on the 428cj horsepower is about 385 gross hp, backed up by numerous posts on FordFE.com and dyno tests in Jay Brown’s “The Great FE Intake Comparo” which features a nearly bone stock 428cj build. If we accept that 385 gross hp for the 428cj, we can deduce the following: a.

    At its introduction it was rated at 400 hp (298 kW), SAE gross, and 550 lb⋅ft (746 N⋅m) of torque. For 1971, compression was reduced from 10.0:1 to 8.5:1, the lowered compression ratio dropped the 500's gross output from 400 bhp (298 kW) to 365 bhp (272 kW), or 235 hp (175 kW) in the new SAE net ratings. By 1976, its final year, it had ...
