What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform values expressed in calorie (IT) per gram, a unit measuring energy content per mass, into pound per horsepower-hour, a unit reflecting fuel consumption relative to engine power output.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the quantity in calorie (IT)/gram that you want to convert
  • Select the 'calorie (IT)/gram [cal/g]' as your starting unit
  • Choose 'pound/horsepower/hour' as the target output unit
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in pound/horsepower/hour

Key Features

  • Transforms calorie (IT)/gram values to pound/horsepower/hour units accurately
  • Supports fuel efficiency and energy density conversions for various fuels
  • Suitable for aerospace, automotive, marine, and industrial engine applications
  • Browser-based and straightforward to use without requiring technical expertise

Examples

  • Convert 2 cal/g to pound/horsepower/hour: 2 × 1413.5742098022 = 2827.15 pound/horsepower/hour
  • Convert 0.5 cal/g to pound/horsepower/hour: 0.5 × 1413.5742098022 = 706.79 pound/horsepower/hour

Common Use Cases

  • Assessing fuel calorific value and energy density in fuels such as coal, wood, and diesel
  • Comparing fuel-specific energy for aerospace and portable power fuel selection
  • Calculating combustion and engine performance metrics related to fuel energy
  • Reporting brake specific fuel consumption for automotive and piston engines
  • Evaluating gas turbine and turboprop performance in aircraft for fuel planning
  • Determining fuel consumption in industrial generators and marine engines

Tips & Best Practices

  • Understand that calorie (IT)/gram expresses energy per unit mass and pound/horsepower/hour relates to mass consumed per power output over time
  • Use this conversion to interpret energy density in terms of engine fuel efficiency
  • Apply domain knowledge as the units represent fundamentally different physical quantities
  • Double-check unit selections to ensure accurate conversions for your application

Limitations

  • Conversion accuracy may be affected by varying measurement systems and experimental conditions
  • High conversion factor reflects distinct unit categories (energy density vs. fuel consumption rate)
  • Interpreting results requires understanding of both energy and fuel consumption metrics
