Abstract. The present study deals with the procedure of establishment of regression models of closed curves for specific fuel consumption constant values, as well as of curves for the minimum specific fuel consumption in internal combustion engines, which is illustrated on a concrete example. Characteristics and development trends of automatic transmissions which provide the operation of an engine under all exploitation regimes on a minimum fuel consumption curve, i.e. on the characteristic of an economic engine operation, are shown in order to illustrate how actual these issues are nowadays. Regression models are presented in the form of a polynomial in the function of working regime parameters - effective pressure and number of revolutions. A graphical representation of specific fuel consumption constant value curves is given for a concrete example used in this research study, in the form of a relief topographic characteristic.
Key Words: Regression Model, Internal Combustion Engine, Specific Fuel Consumption, Economic Operation Characteristic, Automatic Transmission.

REGRESIONI MODELI KRIVIH SPECIFIČNE POTROŠNJE GORIVA I 
KARAKTERISTIKE EKONOMIČNOG RADA MOTORA SUS
U radu je prikazan, i na konkretnom primjeru ilustrovan, postupak formiranja regresionih modela zatvorenih krivih konstantnih vrijednosti specifične potrošnje goriva i krive minimalne specifične potrošnje goriva. Aktuelnost problematike je ilustrovana prikazom karakteristika i trendova razvoja automatskih transmisija kojima se obezbijeđuje rad motora u svim režimima eksploatacije na krivoj minimalne specifične potrošnje goriva- tj. na karakteristici ekonomičnog rada motora. Regresioni modeli dati su u obliku polinoma, u funkciji parametara režima rada - efektivnog pritiska i broja obrta. Za konkretni primjer data je i grafička interpretacija krivih konstantnih vrijednosti specifične potrošnje goriva u obliku reljefne topografske karakteristike.
