Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does fuel oil equivalent @barrel (US) represent?
-
It represents the energy contained in one U.S. barrel of fuel oil, used for converting petroleum volumes into energy units.
-
What is the Rydberg constant used for?
-
The Rydberg constant sets the scale for atomic spectral lines and is fundamental in quantum mechanics and spectroscopy.
-
Why are converted values so large when switching to Rydberg constants?
-
Because the Rydberg constant measures atomic-scale energies, converting large fuel oil energy amounts results in extremely large values.
