Specific Energy Conversions

For conversions between units

1 btu/lb = 0.002326 mj/kg
1 kcal/kg 0.0041868 mj/kg
1 metric ton (tonne) 1.10231 short tons

From GAR to NAR

The difference between net and gross as received (NAR v/s GAR) specific energy values is the latent heat of the water vapour which lowers the effective calorific value in the boiler.
To convert from GAR to NAR for bituminous coals subtract approximately
1.09 mj/kg
260 kcal/kg
470 btu/lb
