Frequently Asked Questions
- What does joule per kilogram (J/kg) measure?
- It measures specific energy, indicating the amount of energy per unit mass of fuel or material.
- Why convert from J/kg to kg/J?
- Converting to kg/J shows the mass required per joule of energy, aiding in fuel mass budgeting and efficiency assessments.
- Can I directly substitute these units in formulas?
- Since the units are reciprocals, direct substitution without context can cause errors; careful interpretation is needed.
Key Terminology
