How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the fuel's energy value in Btu (th)/pound into the input field.
- Select the target unit pound/horsepower/hour for conversion.
- Click the convert button to see the equivalent fuel consumption rate.
- Review the output to assess fuel efficiency or system performance.
Key Features
- Converts between thermochemical British thermal unit per pound and pounds per horsepower-hour.
- Supports fuel efficiency and mass-based energy analysis.
- Useful for industries like power generation, automotive, aerospace, and marine.
- Browser-based and simple to use with clear unit definitions.
- Provides precise conversion based on standardized thermochemical Btu values.
Examples
- 1 Btu (th)/pound equals approximately 2546.14 pound/horsepower/hour.
- 0.5 Btu (th)/pound converts to around 1273.07 pound/horsepower/hour.
Common Use Cases
- Calculating fuel mass flow from energy demand for boilers and combustion systems.
- Comparing the specific energy of fuels like coal, diesel, or biomass.
- Reporting brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) for automotive and piston engines.
