What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert fuel efficiency mass units from gram per calorie (IT) to gram per kilowatt-hour. It helps translate mass per unit thermal energy into mass per unit electrical or mechanical energy, enabling fuel efficiency comparisons across various energy forms.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in gram/calorie (IT) you want to convert
  • Select gram/calorie (IT) as the source unit and gram/kilowatt/hour as the target unit
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in gram/kilowatt/hour
  • Use the results to compare fuel efficiency or calculate mass consumption

Key Features

  • Converts gram/calorie (IT) [g/cal] to gram/kilowatt/hour [g/kW·h]
  • Easy-to-use online interface with instant conversion results
  • Useful for power generation, automotive, marine, and heating system applications
  • Supports comparisons of fuel mass consumption relative to different energy units

Examples

  • 0.5 g/cal × 859845.22785898 equals 429922.61392949 g/kW·h
  • 2 g/cal × 859845.22785898 equals 1719690.45571796 g/kW·h

Common Use Cases

  • Comparing fuel mass required for producing heat energy in different fuels
  • Reporting brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) in internal combustion engines
  • Evaluating fuel use in stationary generators and power plants
  • Optimizing fuel consumption for marine engines and industrial machines

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure correct unit selection based on whether you measure thermal or electrical/mechanical energy
  • Use consistent energy definitions when comparing fuel efficiencies
  • Check conversions carefully when applying results to system design or analysis
  • Consider conversion assumptions when interpreting results across different energy systems

Limitations

  • Conversion assumes identical definitions of calorie (IT) and kilowatt-hour energy units
  • Does not reflect energy losses or efficiency variations during actual energy conversion
  • Units represent different energy forms—thermal vs. electrical/mechanical—which may affect interpretation

Frequently Asked Questions

What does gram/calorie (IT) measure?
Gram/calorie (IT) measures the mass required to produce one International-Table calorie of thermal energy, reflecting mass per unit energy.

Why convert gram/calorie (IT) to gram/kilowatt/hour?
Converting to gram/kilowatt/hour translates thermal energy-based fuel consumption into electrical or mechanical energy terms for wider fuel efficiency comparisons.

Are there any assumptions when converting these units?
Yes, the conversion assumes consistent energy unit definitions and does not account for energy losses or differences in conversion efficiency.

Key Terminology

Gram/calorie (IT) [g/cal]
A measure expressing the mass of fuel required to deliver one International-Table calorie of energy, used for thermal energy-based mass evaluations.
Gram/kilowatt/hour [g/kW·h]
A measure of fuel mass consumed to generate one kilowatt-hour of electrical or mechanical energy, indicating specific fuel consumption.
Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC)
A metric expressing fuel consumed per unit of energy output, often reported in grams per kilowatt-hour.
