many large high bypass turbofan engines use what type of fuel control system

any large high bypass turbofan engines uses the FADEC type of fuel control system

what are the units in an engine fuel flow system

the system consists of a transmitter and an indicator for each engine

where is the fuel flow tranmitter located

it is mounted in the fuel line between the engine driven pump and the carb

what type of readout is indicated on a fuel flow system

the indicator is calibrated to record the fuel flow in gallons per hour

what exactly does a mass fuel flow transmitter measure

The density mass of the fuel that flows through it

what is the reason for monitoring the fuel flow

in addition to fuel consumption, the operator can determine from the fuel flow indication whether the engine is operating at the correct fuel air mixture for a given power setting

what does a manifold pressure gauge indicate?

crankshaft speed (rpm)
