What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms measurements of fuel efficiency from gram per kilowatt-hour to gram per calorie (IT). It helps compare fuel consumption values expressed in mechanical or electrical energy units with those based on thermal energy, allowing better assessment across different energy measurement systems.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in gram/kilowatt/hour (g/kW·h) you want to convert
  • Choose gram/calorie (IT) [g/cal] as the target unit
  • Click convert to get the equivalent fuel consumption in gram/calorie (IT)
  • Review the converted value to analyze fuel efficiency across different unit measures

Key Features

  • Converts fuel consumption values between gram/kilowatt/hour and gram/calorie (IT)
  • Supports comparisons of fuel efficiency across different energy units
  • Includes practical examples for clarity
  • Simple and browser-based tool for easy access
  • Ideal for industries involved in engine performance and thermal engineering

Examples

  • 10 Gram/kilowatt/hour equals 0.00001163 Gram/calorie (IT)
  • 500 Gram/kilowatt/hour equals 0.0005815 Gram/calorie (IT)

Common Use Cases

  • Assessing brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of engines and gas turbines
  • Comparing mass-based energy consumption in power plants and generators
  • Analyzing fuel consumption in heating systems or laboratory calorimetry
  • Benchmarking marine and industrial engine fuel efficiency
  • Evaluating fuel use in systems reporting energy in calories

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm unit definitions and conversion rates before interpreting results
  • Use consistent fuel property data when comparing mass-specific consumption
  • Consider the context of energy measurement systems when analyzing conversions
  • Apply this conversion for cross-comparison between mechanical and thermal energy fuel usage
  • Be mindful of scale differences in energy systems to avoid misleading conclusions

Limitations

  • Conversion accuracy depends on precise definitions of energy units
  • Assumes uniform fuel characteristics which may vary in practice
  • Differences in measurement precision can affect direct comparability
  • Energy system scale variances might influence interpretation of results

Frequently Asked Questions

What does gram/kilowatt/hour measure?
It quantifies the mass of fuel consumed to produce one kilowatt-hour of energy, indicating specific fuel consumption, commonly used in engine and turbine performance.

Why convert gram/kilowatt/hour to gram/calorie (IT)?
To compare fuel consumption across systems using mechanical/electrical energy units with those using thermal energy units, facilitating analysis across different energy measurement standards.

What is the International-Table calorie in this context?
It is a calorie unit defined as 4.1868 joules, used in gram/calorie (IT) to represent mass required per unit thermal energy.

Key Terminology

Gram/kilowatt/hour (g/kW·h)
A fuel consumption measure expressing grams of fuel consumed per kilowatt-hour of energy produced, used to assess specific fuel efficiency.
Gram/calorie (IT) [g/cal]
A mass per unit thermal energy unit indicating how many grams are needed per International-Table calorie of energy.
Specific Fuel Consumption
The amount of fuel required to produce a unit of energy, often expressed as mass per kW·h or per calorie.
