BSFC
Brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) is a measure of an engine's efficiency. It is the rate of fuel consumption divided by the rate of power production. BSFC is specific for the piston engine known as the reciprocating engine. The general term is specific fuel consumption (SFC). There is also thrust specific fuel consumption (TSFC) for turbine and rocket engines.
