Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound per horsepower-hour measure?
It measures fuel mass consumed per unit of power output over an hour, indicating engine efficiency with lower values showing better fuel use.

Why convert to gram per kilowatt-hour?
Converting allows comparing fuel efficiency using standardized SI units common in industrial and scientific applications.

Can this conversion be used for all engines?
Yes, but it is most suitable under steady-state conditions and may not reflect transient operating states.

Key Terminology

Pound per horsepower-hour
A unit measuring the mass of fuel in pounds consumed per one horsepower output over one hour, used to express engine fuel efficiency.
Gram per kilowatt-hour
A metric unit representing grams of fuel consumed to generate one kilowatt of power in one hour, indicating specific fuel consumption.
Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC)
A parameter quantifying fuel consumption per unit of engine power output, used to compare engine efficiency.
