What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms values from gram/kilowatt/hour, which measures the mass of fuel consumed per unit electrical energy, to pound/Btu (IT), expressing fuel mass per unit of heat energy. It supports engineers and analysts in comparing fuel usage across different energy contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in gram/kilowatt/hour representing fuel consumption.
  • Select gram/kilowatt/hour as the input unit and pound/Btu (IT) as the output unit.
  • Click convert to see the equivalent mass per heat energy value in pound/Btu (IT).

Key Features

  • Converts specific fuel consumption from gram/kilowatt/hour to pound/Btu (IT).
  • Supports fuel efficiency comparisons across electrical and thermal energy units.
  • Browser-based and easy to use for quick calculations.
  • Includes example conversions for clarity and verification.

Examples

  • 100 gram/kilowatt/hour converts to approximately 6.4611e-5 pound/Btu (IT).
  • 5000 gram/kilowatt/hour converts to about 0.00323056 pound/Btu (IT).

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting brake specific fuel consumption of engines and turbines in g/kW·h.
  • Specifying fuel usage for stationary generators per kilowatt-hour.
  • Converting fuel mass consumption per electrical energy to thermal energy units for boiler and burner sizing.
  • Calculating fuel consumption and emissions on an energy basis for thermal-engineering applications.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this conversion to compare fuel consumption across different power systems accurately.
  • Account for fuel composition and heating value variations when interpreting results.
  • Carefully handle small conversion factors to avoid rounding or numerical errors.
  • Remember this conversion does not include efficiency losses or operational variability.

Limitations

  • Conversion assumes standard fuel composition and conditions, which may not reflect real-world variations.
  • Small conversion factor values require precise calculation to prevent errors.
  • Does not consider efficiency losses or differences in operating environments.
