What does megajoule per cubic meter (MJ/m³) represent?

MJ/m³ indicates the amount of energy in megajoules contained within one cubic meter of a substance under specified conditions.

Why convert megajoule per cubic meter to liter per joule (L/J)?

Converting to L/J helps determine the volume of fuel needed to produce a certain amount of energy, which is useful for tank sizing and fuel consumption estimates.

Are temperature and pressure important in these conversions?

Yes, volumetric energy density values depend on temperature and pressure, so conversions assume standard conditions for accuracy.
