The gallon is a unit of volume in British imperial units and United States customary units.. The imperial gallon (imp gal) is defined as 4.546 09 litres, and is or was used in the United Kingdom and its former colonies, including Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Malaysia and some Caribbean countries, while the US gallon (US gal) is defined as 231 cubic inches (3. ...
The heating value depends on the source of gas that is used and the process that is used to liquefy the gas. The range of heating value can span ±10 to 15 percent. A typical value of the higher heating value of LNG is approximately 50 MJ/kg or 21,500 BTU/lb. [2] A typical value of the lower heating value of LNG is 45 MJ/kg or 19,350 BTU/lb.
A 68 kg (150 lb) person walking at 4 km/h (2.5 mph) requires approximately 210 kilocalories (880 kJ) of food energy per hour, which is equivalent to 4.55 km/MJ. [15] 1 US gal (3.8 L) of petrol contains about 114,000 British thermal units (120 MJ) [52] of energy, so this is approximately equivalent to 360 miles per US gallon (0.65 L/100 km).
At 1 atm pressure, it reaches its maximum density of 999.972 kg/m 3 (62.4262 lb/cu ft) at 3.98 °C (39.16 °F). [ 54 ] [ 55 ] Below that temperature, but above the freezing point of 0 °C (32 °F), it expands becoming less dense until it reaches freezing point, reaching a density in its liquid phase of 999.8 kg/m 3 (62.4155 lb/cu ft).
Further revisions during 1948 resulted in an aircraft with a top speed of 513 miles per hour (446 kn; 826 km/h) at 35,000 feet (11,000 m), a range of 6,909 miles (6,004 nmi; 11,119 km), and a 280,000-pound (130,000 kg) gross weight, which included 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg) of bombs and 19,875 US gallons (75,240 L) of fuel.
One of the three Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers, America had a total length of 1,048 feet (319 m) and a width of 248 feet (76 m), and room for almost 5,200 officers and sailors. Forty years later, it would be scuttled on May 14, 2005, after being retired and put through live weapons testing, and would become the largest warship in history ...
On July 16, the Proton 1 had set a new record for the heaviest payload (24,400 pounds (11,100 kg)) placed into an Earth orbit. [ 50 ] [ 102 ] [ 103 ] Sent in part to test the Soviet Union's technology for taking and transmitting higher-resolution images than had been sent by previous Soviet vehicles, the Zond-3 would take new photographs of the ...
