Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter represent?
-
It is the energy released by combusting one kiloliter of a defined reference fuel oil, representing volumetric energy content.
-
How is a newton meter related to energy?
-
A newton meter corresponds to the work done when a one-newton force acts over one meter displacement, dimensionally equal to one joule.
-
Can newton meter values represent torque and energy interchangeably?
-
Although they share the unit symbol, torque and energy are conceptually distinct and should be carefully interpreted.
Key Terminology
-
Fuel Oil Equivalent @kiloliter
-
A volumetric-based energy unit referring to the energy released from burning one kiloliter of a standard reference fuel oil.
-
Newton Meter [N*m]
-
A unit of work or energy equal to the effort produced by one newton force over one meter displacement; also used for torque measurement.
