Variation of higher heating value of fuels per kg of oxygen consumed with increase in H/C ratio in fuels. It can be seen that almost remains constant for all fuels. scale is enlarged to show small deviations; multiply in kJ/stoich kg of O2 by 0.43 to obtain BTU/stoich lb of O2. Multiply in kJ/stoich kg of O2 by 0.0013 to obtain kJ/SATP liter and multiply kJ/kg by 0.035 to obtain BTU/SATP SCF of O2 where SATP is standard atmospheric temperature and pressure, 25°C and pressure of 1 atm.
