Convert barrel of oil to watt • hour

Learn how to convert 1 barrel of oil to watt • hour step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (b a r r e l o f o i l) = x (w a t t \times h o u r)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(j o u l e)

Left side: 1.0 (b a r r e l o f o i l) = 6.1178632 \times 10^{9} (j o u l e) = 6.1178632 \times 10^{9} (J)

Right side: 1.0 (w a t t \times h o u r) = 3.6 \times 10^{3} (j o u l e) = 3.6 \times 10^{3} (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (b a r r e l o f o i l) = x (w a t t \times h o u r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 6.1178632 \times 10^{9} \times (j o u l e) = x \times 3.6 \times 10^{3} \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 6.1178632 \times 10^{9} \cdot (J) = x \cdot 3.6 \times 10^{3} \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 6.1178632 \times 10^{9} \cdot (J) = x \times 3.6 \times 10^{3} \times (J)

Conversion Equation

6.1178632 \times 10^{9} = x \times 3.6 \times 10^{3}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

6.1178632 \times {10^{9}}^{10^{6}} = x \times 3.6 \times 10^{3}

Simplify

6.1178632 \times 10^{6} = x \times 3.6

Switch sides

x \times 3.6 = 6.1178632 \times 10^{6}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{3.6})

x \times 3.6 \times \frac{1.0}{3.6} = 6.1178632 \times 10^{6} \times \frac{1.0}{3.6}

Cancel

x \times 3.6 \times \frac{1.0}{3.6} = 6.1178632 \times 10^{6} \times \frac{1.0}{3.6}

Simplify

x = \frac{6.1178632 \times 10^{6}}{3.6}

Solve

x

x \approx 1699406.4444 \approx 1.6994 \times 10^{6}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (b a r r e l o f o i l) \approx 1.6994 \times 10^{6} (w a t t \times h o u r)
