Pound per hour is a mass flow unit based on the international avoirdupois pound, which is used in both the British imperial and, being a former colony of Britain, the United States customary systems of measurement.
The fuel consumption per mile or per kilometre is a more appropriate comparison for aircraft that travel at very different speeds. [ citation needed ] There also exists power-specific fuel consumption , which equals the thrust-specific fuel consumption divided by speed.
[8] In the United States, it is computed per 100 million miles traveled, while internationally it is computed in 100 million or 1 billion kilometers traveled. According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety Volume of traffic, or vehicle miles traveled (VMT), is a predictor of crash incidence.
In the example provided by the US DoE in its final rule, an electric car with an energy consumption of 265 Watt hour per mile in urban driving, and 220 Watt hour per mile in highway driving, results in a petroleum-equivalent fuel economy of 335.24 miles per gallon, based on a driving schedule factor of 55 percent urban, and 45 percent highway ...
Vincenty's goal was to express existing algorithms for geodesics on an ellipsoid in a form that minimized the program length (Vincenty 1975a). His unpublished report (1975b) mentions the use of a Wang 720 desk calculator, which had only a few kilobytes of memory.
Quality, cost, delivery (QCD), sometimes expanded to quality, cost, delivery, morale, safety (QCDMS), [1] is a management approach originally developed by the British automotive industry. [2]
The frequency of the suspension response at the golden-car simulation speed also determines the final IRI ride value. The IRI sensitivity is focused on wavelengths between 0.82 and nearly 200-feet (0.25 to 61 meters). Although, if any wavelengths are equal to 7.9 or 50 feet (2.4 or 15.2 meters) the IRI values are weighted higher. [2]
Gross ton mile (GTM), or its related units gross tonne–kilometre [1] and thousand gross tonne mile (kgtm) are units of measurement commonly used in rail transportation. Gross ton kilometre is the product of total weight (including the weight of lading cars and locomotives ) and the distance moved by a train.
