  2. Outboard motor - Wikipedia

    With the propeller pushing mostly air instead of water, the load on the engine is greatly reduced, causing the engine to race and the propeller to spin fast enough to result in cavitation, at which point little thrust is generated at all. The condition continues until the prop slows enough for the air bubbles to rise to the surface. [23]

    The engine sizes range from 9.9 horsepower (7.4 kW) to 50 horsepower (37 kW) with speeds from 30 miles per hour (48 km/h) to 90 miles per hour (140 km/h). In the C Stock Class, the Yamato Motor Company engines used in Kyōtei boat racing (with parimutuel betting ) in Japan, are reconditioned, shipped to the United States and used for racing in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake-specific_fuel...

    For example, a reciprocating engine achieves maximum efficiency when the intake air is unthrottled and the engine is running near its peak torque. The efficiency often reported for a particular engine, however, is not its maximum efficiency but a fuel economy cycle statistical average. For example, the cycle average value of BSFC for a gasoline ...

    For example, Concorde cruised at 1354 mph, or 7.15 million feet per hour, with its engines giving an SFC of 1.195 lb/(lbf·h) (see below); this means the engines transferred 5.98 million foot pounds per pound of fuel (17.9 MJ/kg), equivalent to an SFC of 0.50 lb/(lbf·h) for a subsonic aircraft flying at 570 mph, which would be better than even ...

    Propulsive efficiency comparison for various gas turbine engine configurations. Propeller engines are most efficient for low speeds, turbojet engines for high speeds, and turbofan engines between the two. Turbofans are the most efficient engines in the range of speeds from about 500 to 1,000 km/h (270 to 540 kn; 310 to 620 mph), the speed at ...

    They would rev close to 8,000 rpm and could produce 80 hp (60 kW), close to 1 horsepower per pound (0.6 kW/kg) of engine weight. [4] OMC declared chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2000 and its assets were subsequently acquired by Bombardier Recreational Products, which continued to build Evinrude branded outboard motors.

  8. Fuel economy in aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_economy_in_aircraft

    It projects the following reductions in engine fuel consumption, compared to baseline aircraft in service in 2015: [126] 10-15% from higher pressure and bypass ratios, lighter materials, implemented in 2010–2019; 20-25% from high pressure core + ultra-high by-pass ratio geared turbofan, from ~2020-25; 30% from open rotors (propfans), from ~2030

  9. Bypass ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bypass_ratio

    The bypass ratio (BPR) of a turbofan engine is the ratio between the mass flow rate of the bypass stream to the mass flow rate entering the core. [1] A 10:1 bypass ratio, for example, means that 10 kg of air passes through the bypass duct for every 1 kg of air passing through the core.
