Kilocalorie (It)
A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 calories, commonly used to measure the energy content of food and beverages.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie originated in the 19th century as a measure of heat energy, primarily used in nutrition and thermodynamics. It became standard in dietary contexts to quantify food energy intake.
Current Use
Today, the kilocalorie is widely used in nutrition to express the energy content of foods and beverages, and in scientific contexts related to energy measurement in biological and physical systems.
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.
