Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fleet of 5 identical diesel engines operates under varying project conditions. Engine A consumes 0.10 liters per horsepower hour in moderate conditions while Engine B uses 0.15 liters in tough conditions. If both engines are rated at 350 horsepower, calculate the annual fuel consumption for each under the assumption they operate 1200 hours a year for 10 months.

💡 Hint: Calculate the total consumption based on the provided factors.

Question 2

Assuming a project requires three types of equipment with different operating factors affecting their efficiency at work. If their operating factors vary (e.g. Equipment 1: 0.5, Equipment 2: 0.8, Equipment 3: 1.0), how would these variations impact the total cost of fuel for the project if the fuel rate remained constant?

💡 Hint: Assess how each factor inflates or deflates overall costs.
