Specific Fuel Oil Consumption Definition

Consumption of fuel oil per unit energy at out put shaft is known as Specific fuel oil
consumption.Unit of specific fuel oil consumption is Kg/kWh or g/bhph .Or we can define in
another way ie, mass of fuel oil consumed per average shaft power developed by the engine
at the same time
Specific fuel oil consumption= Mass of fuel consumed per hour/break power in
that particular hour

Detailed Specific Fuel Oil Consumption calculation for diesel engine SFOC
Calculation

SFOC = ( Co x D x 10^6 )/(h x Pe)

where:
Co = Fuel oil consumption over the period (m^3)
D = Corrected gravity (t/m3)
h = Measuring period, hours
Pe =Brake horse power, bhp

Specific Fuel Oil Consumption Calculation

For finding Specific fuel oil consumption we should know all the values which is required
for the above formula

>Take fuel oil flow meter reading for specific time interval usually take one hour period.
ie h=1hr
>Difference between two reading gives you the Volume ie Co
>Density of fuel oil is in bunker delivery note or in sample test result using this value

calculate the density of fuel oil at the temperature near the low meter D
Temperature corrected Density D= (Density of Fuel Oil @ 15 degree Celsius) * [1- {(T-15)

>Calculate the shaft power at the given interval Pe . Shaft power is calculated by the
help of dynamometer or using fuel index and RPM you can find out the break power from
the graph given in manual.

For example
h =1hr
Co =1.3m3
D119 =0.94t/m3
Pe =8,200 bhp

SFOC = ( Co x D x 10^6 )/(h x Pe)

Mass correction also has to be added to this,even the calorific value has to be accounted
