Energy Unit Conversion Factors

This document provides conversion factors between various energy units including megajoules (MJ), kilowatt-hours (kWh), kilocalories (kcal), British thermal units (Btu), horsepower-hours (hph), and others. Some key equivalents are: 1 MJ = 3.6 kWh 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ 1 kcal = 4.187*10-3 MJ = 1.163*10-3 kWh It also lists densities of common fuels and substances like diesel, gasoline, ethanol, and oil, and provides prefixes and power terms for quantities like kilo, mega, giga, tera, peta
