Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A construction company operates a diesel engine with a power of 300 horsepower. The operational factor is found to be 0.5. Calculate the expected oil consumption in liters per hour using the formula. Assume the oil consumption factor is 0.0027 kg/hp and conversion factor is 0.89 kg/l.

💡 Hint: Remember to convert kg to liters at the end!

Question 2

A specific model of a diesel engine uses 0.125 liters per horsepower per hour. If this model is rated at 500 horsepower and operates an average of 8 hours daily, what would be the total daily oil consumption in liters?

💡 Hint: Follow the steps: establish the rate, multiply by power and time.
