Section 3: Farm Power

Tractors and Power Tillers

Subtopic: Tractor tests and performance

Question Statement:

During a field drawbar performance test, a tractor delivers a continuous drawbar power of $P_{\text{db}} = 30\text{ kW}$ while consuming diesel fuel at a volumetric rate of $V_f = 9.0\text{ L/h}$. The specific volumetric fuel consumption at the drawbar in $\text{L/kW}\cdot\text{h}$ is ________ (round off to 2 decimal places).

Answer Key:

0.30

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

``` Specific Volumetric Fuel Consumption: SVFC = (Fuel Consumption Rate L/h) / (Power kW) ``` **Step-by-step Calculation:** $SVFC = \frac{V_f}{P_{\text{db}}} = \frac{9.0\text{ L/h}}{30\text{ kW}} = 0.30\text{ L/kW}\cdot\text{h}$
