Calculate the total fuel cost for a project that requires a 350 horsepower diesel engine, operating at 75% efficiency, with an estimated fuel price of 55 rupees per liter and a consumption rate of 0.15 liters per horsepower hour.
💡 Hint: Break down the calculation into total consumption first then multiply by the price.
For a project running a gasoline engine at 400 horsepower with an average consumption of 0.05 gallons per horsepower hour, if the current fuel price is 300 rupees per gallon, what would be the operating costs for 2 hours?
💡 Hint: Remember to adjust the calculation for the total hours.
