Frequently Asked Questions

What does joule per kilogram measure in this context?
It measures the specific energy or energy content per unit mass of a fuel or storage medium, helping quantify energy release or storage capacity.

Why convert joule/kilogram to pound/horsepower/hour?
To translate specific energy into a mass-based fuel consumption rate, which is useful for evaluating engine efficiency and fuel usage in terms of mechanical power output.

Can this conversion reflect actual engine efficiency under all conditions?
No, the conversion uses standard unit definitions and does not consider operational factors like fuel variation or engine condition that impact real efficiency.

Key Terminology

Joule per kilogram (J/kg)
SI unit measuring specific energy or specific enthalpy per mass, indicating the energy content of fuel or storage medium per kilogram.
Pound per horsepower-hour
Unit expressing the mass of fuel in pounds consumed to produce one horsepower over one hour, indicating engine fuel consumption rate relative to power output.
Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC)
A metric indicating the mass of fuel consumed per unit of power output, commonly reported for piston and automotive engines.
