How much uranium does it take to power a city?
In the previous page we saw that with one tonne of either uranium or thorium, we can produce a gigawatt year of electricity (1GWye), the amount you’ll need to power a modern city with a million inhabitants for a year.
How much uranium does it take to power an aircraft carrier?
Looking at the numbers, if each type of carrier were required to produce 200,000-shaft horsepower for a time of one week, a conventional carrier would require 5.125 X 106 kilo-grams of fuel, while a nuclear carrier would require from 4.094 kilo-grams to 136.476 kilo-grams of enriched Uranium (see Calculations).
How much energy does 1kg of oil produce?
With a complete combustion or fission , approx. 8 kWh of heat can be generated from 1 kg of coal, approx. 12 kWh from 1 kg of mineral oil and around 24,000,000 kWh from 1 kg of uranium-235.
How many kWh is a barrel of oil?
1,700 kilowatt

How do you calculate kWh per Litre?
- You should convert kva to kw.
- 2.Kw *1 hour=kwh.
- kwh=0.145 liters.
How many KW are in a Litre of kerosene?
10.35 kWh
What is G kWh fuel consumption?
A consumption map or efficiency map shows the brake-specific fuel consumption in g per kWh over mean effective pressure per rotational speed of an internal combustion engine. The contour lines show the specific fuel consumption, indicating the areas of the speed/load regime where the engine is more or less efficient.
What does G kWh mean?
Gram per kilowatt hour. g kWh-1. 1 g kWh-1 = 10.527 9 10-6 oz BTU-1. Gram per horsepower hour g HPh-1.
How is SFC calculated?
The units of this efficiency factor are mass per time divided by force (in English units, pounds mass per hour per pound; in metric units, kilograms per hour per Newton).
How does G kWh calculate fuel consumption?
- Fuel consumption liters per hour (l/h) is:
- How to calculate fuel consumption in liters per hour, if the specific consumption in g / kWh is known? You can calculate by the formula: Q = N * q / R, where.
- Convert g/kWh to gal/h online (from gram/kWh to gallon (US) per hour) Converter from m3 to liters and liters to m3.
How do you calculate specific fuel consumption?
Simple Method
- Formula To Estimate Maximum Engine Fuel Consumption. Gallon Per Hour (GPH) = (specific fuel consumption x HP)/Fuel Specific Weight.
- 300-hp Diesel Engine Example. GPH = (0.4 x 300)/ 7.2 = 105/7.2 = 16.6 GPH.
- 300-hp Gasoline Engine Example. GPH = (0.50 x 300)/ 6.1 = 150/6.1 = 24.5 GPH.
