What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms fuel efficiency measurements from pound per horsepower-hour to gram per thermochemical calorie. It helps translate mechanical output-based fuel consumption data into a thermal energy-based mass consumption unit, facilitating comparison of different engine and fuel performance metrics.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in pound per horsepower-hour that you want to convert
  • Select the desired output unit: gram per thermochemical calorie (g/cal (th))
  • Apply the conversion formula or use the tool to obtain the converted value
  • Review the result to understand fuel mass consumption per unit thermal energy

Key Features

  • Supports conversion between pound/horsepower/hour and gram/calorie (th) units
  • Includes fuel efficiency mass measurement context for engineering applications
  • Provides direct multiplication conversion formula for easy calculations
  • Ideal for automotive, aerospace, industrial, and heating appliance fuel analysis

Examples

  • Convert 5 pound/horsepower/hour by multiplying by 0.0007069535 to get 0.0035347675 g/cal (th)
  • Convert 10 pound/horsepower/hour by multiplying by 0.0007069535 to get 0.007069535 g/cal (th)

Common Use Cases

  • Comparing fuel consumption efficiency for different engine operating points in piston and automotive engines
  • Estimating fuel burn and range performance for gas-turbine or turboprop aircraft engines
  • Evaluating fuel consumption in industrial and marine generators during testing
  • Sizing fuel supply requirements for heating appliances and industrial burners based on thermal energy demand

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure the thermochemical calorie basis (4.184 joules) is consistently applied when converting
  • Consider engine operating conditions and fuel characteristics for meaningful comparisons
  • Use steady-state condition data as transient variations are not accounted for in this conversion
  • Validate unit consistency when comparing mechanical and thermal energy metrics

Limitations

  • Energy unit differences between mechanical horsepower and thermal calorie affect direct comparability
  • Fuel properties and specific engine conditions can influence conversion accuracy
  • Thermal calorie unit assumes a fixed value of 4.184 joules which must be used consistently
  • Transient engine performance variations are not represented by this conversion

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound/horsepower/hour measure?
It measures the mass of fuel in pounds consumed to produce one horsepower of output over one hour, indicating engine fuel efficiency.

What is gram/calorie (th) used for?
This unit measures fuel mass consumed per thermochemical calorie of energy produced or required, useful for thermal energy-based fuel efficiency assessments.

Why convert between these two units?
Converting allows comparison between mechanical output-based fuel consumption and thermal energy-based mass consumption, aiding in diverse engine and fuel system analyses.

Key Terminology

Pound/horsepower/hour
A unit expressing fuel mass in pounds consumed per horsepower produced over one hour; used to describe engine fuel efficiency.
Gram/calorie (th) [g/cal (th)]
A unit showing fuel mass in grams consumed per thermochemical calorie of energy, useful for thermal energy-based fuel efficiency analysis.
Thermochemical calorie
A calorie unit defined as 4.184 joules, representing thermal energy for fuel efficiency calculations.
