The possibilities of using of the engine multidimensional characteristic in fuel consumption prediction

This paper presents the possibilities of using the multidimensional characteristic of engine in fuel consumption prediction. The multidimensional characteristic of engine has been defined. The quality and the scope of the proposed fuel consumption model have been estimated using verification tests according to the assumed engine operation test. The bed tests and simulation tests have been done using the same model of engine operation and their results have been included in this paper.
