Question

Specific internal energy is measured in energy per unit mass dimensions. What is 310 kJ/kg in Btu/lbm units?

Answer 1

133.276 Btu/lbm

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kJ/kg = 0.429923 Btu/lbm

Therefore, 310 kJ/kg = 133.276 Btu/lbm

Specific internal energy can be defined as the internal energy (kJ or Btu) divided by a unit of mass (kg or lbm). Both sets of units (kJ/kg and Btu/lbm) are units for specific energy.

Energy is an object's ability to do work and is represented in this example in Joules (J) or British Thermal Units (Btu).

1 kJ = 1000 J

Mass tells us how much something weighs and is represented in this example in kg or lbm (pounds).
