Joule
The joule (J) is the SI unit of energy, work, and heat, defined as the work done when a force of one newton acts over a distance of one meter.
History/Origin
The joule was named after James Prescott Joule in 1889 to honor his work in energy and thermodynamics. It was adopted as the SI unit of energy in 1948.
Current Use
The joule is widely used in physics, engineering, and everyday contexts to quantify energy, work, and heat in various applications, including electricity, mechanics, and thermodynamics.
Fuel Oil Equivalent @barrel (Us)
Fuel oil equivalent @barrel (US) (foe) is a unit of energy representing the amount of energy contained in one US barrel of fuel oil, used to compare energy content across different fuels.
History/Origin
The foe unit originated in energy and fuel industries to standardize energy measurements, particularly in the context of oil and fuel consumption, and has been used since the mid-20th century for energy accounting and reporting.
Current Use
Today, foe is primarily used in energy statistics, research, and reporting to quantify and compare the energy content of fuel oils and other energy sources in a consistent manner.
