Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is fuel oil equivalent @barrel (US)?
-
It is the energy content found in one U.S. barrel of fuel oil, used to express petroleum volumes based on energy rather than volume.
-
What does a dyne centimeter measure?
-
A dyne centimeter is a CGS unit of energy, representing work done by a force of one dyne moving through one centimetre.
-
Why convert fuel oil energy to dyne centimeters?
-
This conversion helps express petroleum energy content in microscopic CGS units for detailed scientific analysis and comparison with other energy forms.
