Diesel fuel has a heat value of about 19,500 BTU per pound.
19,400 BTU per pound x 1055.07 Joules per BTU = 20,468,358 Joules per pound of diesel fuel.
1 gram calorie = 1 calorie = the amount of energy required to heat 1 gram of water 1 degree centigrade.
1 calorie = 4.184 Joules
Then 20,468,358Joules per pound of diesel/4.184 Joules per calorie = 4,892,055 calories per pound of diesel fuel.
Better check my math
