Determine the mass flow rate of fuel from the gasoline tank to the car’s fuel injection system. Assume that the gasoline consumption of the car is 8.5 km/L when the car is moving at 90 km/h. Use the specific gravity value of 0.72 for the gasoline.
Calculate the average speed of the gasoline exiting a nozzle at a gas station. Next time you go to a gas station, measure the volumetric flow rate of the gas first, and then measure the diameter of the nozzle. Use Equation (8.12) to calculate the average speed of the gasoline coming out of the nozzle. Hint: First measure the time that it takes to put so many gallons of gasoline into the gas tank!
Use the following empirical relationship to plot the fuel consumption in both kilometers per liter and liters per kilometer for a car for which the following relationship applies. Note: V is the speed of the car in km/h and the given relationship is valid
