Rate of fuel consumption by a pump
Input(s)
N: Pump Rotary Speed (rpm)
\(\mathrm{T}\): Output Torque (ft lbs)
n: Pump Efficiency \((\%)\)
H: Fuel Heating Value \((B T U / l b)\)
Output(s)
Qf: Fuel Consumption Rate \((\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{h})\)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{f}}=48.46 * \frac{\mathrm{N} * \mathrm{~T}}{\mathrm{n} * \mathrm{H}}
\]
