What do you mean by specific fuel consumpion?

Answer

Specific fuel consumption is an exact measure of how many pounds (or other measure of weight or volume) is used to produce each horsepower an engine produces. For example, if you have a diesel engine running at a certain speed that produces 10 HP while burning 4.5 lbs of fuel per hour, its specific fuel consumption is .45 lbs/HP.
