RE: simple btu conversion problem
1. Density
2. Calorific Value (net)
Now the calculation is simple.
Mass of fuel in kg = volume in liters x density in kg/lit
Now, multiply calorific value (in btu/kg) with cost $/Kg to get $/Btu.
For example, one grade of diesel we use has a density of 0.87 kg/liter and the calorific value is 10000 kCal/Kg. The cost of fuel is 18 Rs/Kg
So one liter of fuel mass is 0.87 kg. Total calorific value is 0.87 x 10000 = 8700 kCal. so unit rate is 18/8700 = 0.002 Rs/kCal.
You can download a very good unit conversion software program from the link below.

So, the price X$/L=X$/35,700 Btu
