Jim revisits BSFC

Whether you're an engine builder or engaged in testing them on an engine dynamometer, a clear and working understanding of brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) can be of value. The broader category includes parts designers and those interested in evaluating power level changes involving parts or modifications. In one way or another, any changes in power (positive or negative) can be linked to combustion efficiency. And, simply stated, BSFC is keyed to this as well. Despite previous discussions about the subject, we'll expand on it a bit in this presentation.
