Marine shipping - fuel consumption |
2006-04-26 |
|
From Sandy:
When a ship is 800 nautical miles from port its speed is reduced by 20%,
thereby reducing the daily fuel consumption by 42 tonnes and arriving in
port with 50 tonnes onboard. If the fuel consumption per hour is given
by the expression (0.136 + 0.001V^3) where V is speed in knots;
Estimate a) reduced consumption per day b) fuel onboard when speed reduced
c) normal consumption for 800 nautical mile voyage d) increase in steaming
time

Fuel consumption |
2002-11-11 |
|
From Guy:
When a car is driven 'normally' the feul consumption is 7.5 per litres per 100km. On a particular journey the car was driven in 'hard' and the consumption changed to 9.1 litres per 100km. Fuel cost 80p per litre. Calculate:
a) The extra feul consumed.
b) The extra cost of feul, in pounds, for the journey when the car was driven in 'hard'.
