Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 24P
Derive the following conversion factors:
- (a) Convert a volume flow rate in cubic inches per minute to cubic millimeters per minute.
- (b) Convert a volume flow rate in cubic meters per second to gallons per minute (gpm).
- (c) Convert a volume flow rate in liters per minute to gpm.
- (d) Convert a volume flow rate of air in standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) to cubic meters per hour. A standard cubic foot of gas occupies one cubic foot at standard temperature and pressure (T = 15°C and p = 101.3 kPa absolute).

1. Energy consumption in a country from 2001 to 2011 increased from 1041.3 million
to 1526.1 million BOE (barrels of oil equivalent). If the high calorific value (HHV) of the oil
is 141,000 kJ/gallon what is the increase in energy consumption over 10 years in
Joule units. What is the rate of energy consumption per year?
2. Based on data on the rate of energy consumption per year from question no. 1, if the growth rate
energy 2.5% per year, calculate the doubling time (td) and what is the approximate rate of
energy growth in 2021.
