What does Joule per liter (J/L) measure?

Joule per liter is a unit expressing the energy contained in one liter of substance, showing volumetric energy density commonly used for liquids.

Why convert from J/L to therm/ft³?

Conversion helps compare energy contents across liquid and gaseous fuels, supporting decision-making in fuel selection, storage sizing, and energy management.

Are there conditions affecting this conversion?

Yes, differences in fuel phase and temperature or pressure conditions can impact volume-based energy density values and should be considered.
