What Is This Tool?

This converter translates values from gram/kilowatt/hour, a measure of fuel mass consumption per unit of energy produced, into calorie (IT)/gram, a unit representing energy content per mass. It helps correlate fuel consumption rates with fuel energy density.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value measured in gram/kilowatt/hour.
  • Select the target unit as calorie (IT)/gram [cal/g].
  • Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent energy density value.

Key Features

  • Converts fuel efficiency units between gram/kilowatt/hour and calorie (IT)/gram.
  • Uses recognized definitions for specific fuel consumption and calorific value.
  • Supports engineering and fuel analysis applications in automotive, aerospace, and power generation.

Examples

  • 1 gram/kilowatt/hour equals 859,845.23 calorie (IT)/gram.
  • 0.5 gram/kilowatt/hour equals 429,922.61 calorie (IT)/gram.

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting brake specific fuel consumption of engines in g/kW·h.
  • Comparing calorific values of solid and liquid fuels for selection.
  • Optimizing engine performance by linking fuel consumption to energy release.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Understand that the units represent different physical quantities, so interpret conversions carefully.
  • Use this tool to support fuel efficiency analysis and energy content comparisons.
  • Consider fuel composition and combustion factors when applying conversion results.

Limitations

  • The conversion is theoretical and assumes ideal conditions that may not reflect real-world variations.
  • Different physical meanings of units mean direct equivalence can be misleading without context.
  • Fuel heterogeneity and combustion efficiency impact accuracy of conversions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does gram/kilowatt/hour measure?
It is a unit expressing the mass of fuel consumed to produce one kilowatt-hour of energy, commonly used to report specific fuel consumption.

What is calorie (IT)/gram used for?
This unit shows the amount of energy per gram of fuel, useful for indicating the calorific value or energy density.

Is the conversion between these units exact?
No, the conversion is theoretical and assumes ideal conditions; practical factors can affect accuracy.

Key Terminology

Gram/kilowatt/hour
A measurement representing grams of fuel consumed per kilowatt-hour of energy generated, used to gauge specific fuel consumption.
Calorie (IT)/gram
An energy density unit expressing International Steam Table calories per gram of fuel, indicating fuel's calorific value.
Specific Fuel Consumption
A metric that quantifies fuel mass required to produce a unit of power or energy over time.
