-
Applicable only to volumetric energy density and related fuel volume calculations
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does calorie (IT) per cubic centimeter measure?
-
It measures the energy contained in one cubic centimeter of material using the International Table calorie unit, reflecting fuel's volumetric energy density.
-
Why convert calorie (IT)/cc to liter/joule?
-
To understand how much fuel volume is needed to provide a certain energy quantity, aiding in tank sizing and fuel efficiency evaluation.
-
Can this conversion be used for all fuel types?
-
It is generally applicable but actual energy content may vary due to fuel composition differences and temperature effects.
Key Terminology
-
Calorie (IT)/cubic centimeter
-
A unit of volumetric energy density defined as one International Table calorie of energy per cubic centimeter of material.
-
Liter per joule [L/J]
-
A unit measuring volume per unit energy; the amount of fuel volume required to supply one joule of energy.
-
Volumetric energy density
-
A measurement of how much energy is contained in a given volume of fuel or material.
