Overview

Engineering reference data for Fuel Consumption Converter in automotive transport.

Key Formulas

Braking Distance

d=v22μgd = \frac{v^2}{2\mu g}

Distance to stop from velocity v.

Fuel Consumption

FC=distancefuel volumeFC = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{fuel volume}}

Distance per unit fuel.

Horsepower

HP=τn5252HP = \frac{\tau \cdot n}{5252}

Torque × RPM / 5252.

Drag Force

Fd=12ρv2CdAF_d = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 C_d A

Aerodynamic drag on vehicle.
