Here are some of the frequently used energy conversion factors when dealing with engineering calculations related to energy conversion systems:
|
Mass 1 kg = 2.2046 lbm |
Density 1 kg/m^3 = 0.06243 lbm/ft^3 |
Force 1 N = 0.2248 lbf |
|
Length 1 m = 3.2810 ft |
Temperature F = C * 1.8 + 32 |
Pressure 1 atm = 14.696 psi |
|
Volume 1 m^3 = 35.32 ft^3 |
Energy, Work, Heat 1 kJ = 0.948 Btu |
Power 1 kW = 56.91 Btu/min |
