Fuel consumption is typically higher at low RPM due to increased heat loss to cylinder walls, which reduces energy efficiency. At 900 RPM, engines experience more wasteful fuel consumption compared to 1600 RPM, as confirmed by data analysis. The longer duration at low RPM allows for greater heat dissipation, impacting the conversion of thermal energy to mechanical energy. Despite engines reaching operational temperatures, heat loss remains a factor. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding engine thermodynamics in fuel efficiency.
