What does gallon (US)/horsepower measure?

It expresses the volume of fuel in US gallons consumed per unit of mechanical power in horsepower, often representing specific fuel consumption over time.

Why convert gallon (US)/horsepower to CHU per cubic foot?

Converting to CHU per cubic foot translates volumetric fuel consumption into an energy density measure, enabling comparison of fuel efficiency with energy content.

Where is this conversion typically applied?

It is used in marine engineering, industrial engines, power generation, fuel supply chain management, and natural gas energy billing.

Does this conversion account for fuel composition variations?

No, it assumes consistent fuel properties; practical use should consider variations in fuel quality and energy content.
