  2. Ampere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere

    The ampere (/ ˈæmpɛər / AM-pair, US: / ˈæmpɪər / AM-peer; [1][2][3] symbol: A), [4] often shortened to amp, [5] is the unit of electric current in the International System of Units (SI). One ampere is equal to 1 coulomb (C) moving past a point per second. [6][7][8] It is named after French mathematician and physicist André-Marie ...

  3. Horsepower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower

    Horsepower. One imperial horsepower lifts 550 pounds (250 kg) by 1 foot (30 cm) in 1 second. Horsepower (hp) is a unit of measurement of power, or the rate at which work is done, usually in reference to the output of engines or motors. There are many different standards and types of horsepower.

  5. Watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt

    0.7375621 ft⋅lbf/s = 0.001341022 hp. The watt (symbol: W) is the unit of power or radiant flux in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 1 joule per second or 1 kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3. [1][2][3] It is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. The watt is named in honor of James Watt (1736–1819), an 18th-century Scottish inventor ...

  6. Miles per gallon gasoline equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_per_gallon_gasoline...

    The energy obtainable from burning one US gallon of gasoline is 115,000 BTU, 33.70 kWh, or 121.3 MJ. [8] To convert the mile per gallon rating into other units of distance per unit energy used, the mile per gallon value can be multiplied by one of the following factors to obtain other units: 1 MPGe.

  7. Gasoline gallon equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_gallon_equivalent

    This volume of natural gas has the same energy content as one US gallon of gasoline (based on lower heating values: 900 BTU/cu ft (9.3 kWh/m 3) of natural gas and 114,000 BTU/US gal (8.8 kWh/L) for gasoline). [22] One GGE of CNG pressurized at 2,400 psi (17 MPa) is 0.77 cubic feet (22 litres; 5.8 US gallons).

    = 10 parts per million by volume = 10 ppmv = 10 volumes/10 6 volumes NO x molar mass = 46 kg/kmol = 46 g/mol Flow rate of flue gas = 20 cubic metres per minute = 20 m 3 /min The flue gas exits the furnace at 0 °C temperature and 101.325 kPa absolute pressure. The molar volume of a gas at 0 °C temperature and 101.325 kPa is 22.414 m 3 /kmol.

  9. Avogadro's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro's_Law

    Avogadro's law states that "equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules." [1] For a given mass of an ideal gas, the volume and amount (moles) of the gas are directly proportional if the temperature and pressure are constant. The law is named after Amedeo Avogadro who, in 1812, [2][3 ...
