What does fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter represent?

It represents the quantity of energy released by combusting one kiloliter (1,000 liters) of a designated reference fuel oil, used for comparing energy content of fuels.

Why use dyne centimeters for energy?

Dyne centimeters are CGS units suitable for expressing very small mechanical energies, often used in micromechanics, astrophysics, and historical scientific literature.

Can I use this conversion for practical large-scale energy management?

Due to the extremely small size of the dyne centimeter unit, converted values become very large and are generally not practical for large-scale energy use.
