Specific Engine Weight

0.01 sec.

the ratio of an engine’s weight to its power; an indication of the engine’s efficiency. For motor vehicles the average specific engine weight is 1–4 kg per kilowatt (kg/kW), for diesel locomotives it is 5–10 kg/kW, and for ships it is 15–50 kg/kW. It is the inverse of the specific power.
