Conversion of Grams/hp/hr to Litres/hr

1) Divide by density (in grams/litre).

2) Multiply by bhp.

Can anyone tell me what the heck murugesanmc is trying to say?

No eyed deer - mebee it's a steam powered turboencabulator.

Thanks, I feel much better now. I thought mebee it was me.

Dear Mr. lyn,

murugesannma wants to convert gms/hp.hr to litres/hp.hr

This is what comes to my mind.

Looks to me like he knows a fuel calorific value (though grams/bhp/hr is an usual unit for CV) and he wants to find the flowrate. #2 covers it. There ought to be efficiency in there, but this would vary widely depending whether eg it's an engine, a boiler, or a space heater, and OP doesn't tell us.

OK,

454 grams = 1 pound. 33,000 ft lb/min = 1 BHP. x60 = 8,989,200,000 grams/hour.

1gram=1cc=1ml of water at STP. So, the answer is 8,989,200 liter/hour.

You'd need to correct for specific gravity, temperature, altitude, barometric pressure, latitude, longitude, and time of day, irrespective of daylight saving time.

Hope this helps.

What happened to the "ft"? Don't think your units tie up.

That's covered in the altitude correction factor.

This is free advice, after all. You get what you pay for.

No, nobody can because you have the wrong units and pathetic accuracy in your mathematics. Grams is a unit of mass. Presumably bhp is the conventional acronym for British Horse Power, which is a unit of power. (It might as well be the Texas Business Honors Program.) Liters is a unit of volume. Your units do not correlate.

Units matter, they have always mattered. To prove to you that that they matter I'll suggest that you get paid 100,000 for your work next week. You might think that that sounds like a great idea, but you'd be fooling yourself. What if I told you that your week of work would get you 100,000 Italian Lira at today's exchange rate. You might think "now there's real money" and you'd again be wrong. At one time an Italian 100,000 Lira note was worth about $5 US but since it is a dead currency today the actual value is zero. Then again, maybe I'd be the one losing money in the bargain.

BTW bhp is brake horse power not British Horse Power

Who says?

BHP - Definition by AcronymFinder

Actually BHP is a mining company.

You have a problem with non-matching units--bhp (brake horsepower??) disappeared, and it matters a lot. I suspect you are doing something with specific fuel consumption in an auto engine? If we ignore bhp, and know how many grams are in a liter/litre, this would be easy! But bhp (throttle opening, horsepower produced??) will make a tremendous difference.

Hi murugesanmc ,

I think u should step in and stop the confusion arising here; what u wanted plz specify clearly if u missed writing hp in the denominator of 2nd unit.
