What is the formula to calculate specific fuel consumption of a man b and w engine?

The specific fuel consumption (SFC) of a marine diesel engine, such as a MAN B&W engine, is typically calculated using the formula:

[ \text{SFC} = \frac{\text{Fuel flow rate (kg/h)}}{\text{Power output (kW)}} ]

This formula provides the amount of fuel consumed per unit of power produced, allowing for the assessment of engine efficiency. It is commonly expressed in units like kg/kWh.
