What Is This Tool?

This tool converts fuel efficiency mass units from pound per British thermal unit (thermal) [lb/Btu (th)] to grams per kilowatt-hour (g/kW·h). It helps translate mass-based fuel consumption values from thermal energy terms into specific fuel consumption per electrical or mechanical energy output.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Input the value in pound/Btu (th) representing mass of fuel per unit thermal energy
  • Select the output unit as gram/kilowatt/hour for specific fuel consumption
  • Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent value in grams per kWh
  • Use the converted result for design, performance evaluation, or benchmarking tasks

Key Features

  • Converts between mass-per-energy units used in fuel efficiency analyses
  • Supports fuel consumption metrics for boilers, engines, turbines, and generators
  • Browser-based and straightforward to use without complicated inputs
  • Facilitates comparison of fuel efficiencies across different energy systems

Examples

  • 0.5 lb/Btu (th) converts to 774378.585086 g/kW·h
  • 2 lb/Btu (th) converts to 3097514.340344 g/kW·h
  • Multiply the input value by 1548757.170172 to get the result in g/kW·h

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying fuel consumption for boilers and furnaces in industrial thermal systems
  • Comparing fuels based on mass-per-energy for industrial burner selection
  • Calculating fuel mass flow rates to meet power output targets in combustion design
  • Reporting brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of engines and turbines
  • Benchmarking fuel efficiency of marine engines and stationary power generators

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm consistency in energy basis when comparing values (thermal vs. electrical/mechanical)
  • Use precise values for conversion to avoid errors due to large conversion factor
  • Clarify the context of fuel consumption measurement for accurate application
  • Leverage converted units to facilitate cross-system fuel efficiency evaluations

Limitations

  • Units represent different energy foundations—thermal energy versus electrical or mechanical energy output
  • Large conversion factor can pose challenges for numerical precision and calculation
  • Users must ensure appropriate context when applying converted values for system comparisons
