Hi,

There is confusion between the units you are referring to.

m3/hr is a flowrate of a fluid (ie water, air, etc). the N means it is normalised (to a defined temp & pressure). So I believe you are referring to a gas of some sort.

BTU/day is a measure of energy over a period of time (a consumption rate for example). mmbtu is 1 x 10^6 btu (ie one million BTU).

So I'm guessing you are referring to some sort of fuel in gaseous form. And you want to know how much energy is in the fuel.

You need to give much more detail in your question.

Kind Regards,

Anthony

GA.

That is if your very plausible assumption of the abbreviations are accurate. One should also know how the fuel gets consumed. The engine, open flame or whatever will set this transfer ration. The energy unit of BTU implies heat produced. This heat could be either the product produced (furnace, boiler) or the waste heat (cooling tower, radiator) from the process.

It depends on what the fuel is; they have different values of combustion energy per volume.
