Gasoline Density Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate gasoline density is:

\[ d = \frac{M}{V} \]

Where:

\( d \) is the gasoline density (lbs/gallon).
\( M \) is the mass (lbs).
\( V \) is the volume (gallons).

Example

Let's say the mass (\( M \)) of gasoline is 50 lbs and the volume (\( V \)) is 10 gallons. Using the formula:

\[ d = \frac{50}{10} \]

We get:

\[ d = 5 \text{ lbs/gallon} \]

So, the gasoline density (\( d \)) is 5 lbs/gallon.

What is Gasoline Density?

Gasoline density refers to the mass per unit volume of gasoline. It can vary between 715 and 780 kg/m³ depending on the exact chemical proportions of the gasoline. This measurement is crucial for various applications, including fuel efficiency calculations and engine performance assessments.

Energy Density of Gasoline

Definition: The energy density of gasoline is the amount of energy stored in a given volume of the fuel.

Formula: \( E = \rho \times \text{Energy Content} \)

E: Energy density (MJ/L)
\( \rho \): Density (kg/L)
Energy Content: Energy per unit mass (MJ/kg)

Example: \( E = 0.75 \times 44 \)

E: Energy density
\( \rho \): 0.75 kg/L
Energy Content: 44 MJ/kg
