Convert fuel oil equivalent (per us barrel) to j
Fuel Oil Equivalent (per US Barrel)
Fuel oil equivalent per US barrel is a unit of energy representing the thermal energy content of one US barrel (42 US gallons, ~158.99 litres) of standard fuel oil, approximately 6,117 megajoules. It is closely related to the barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) used in the petroleum industry for comparing energy output of different hydrocarbon fuels. The unit is standard in US energy reporting, oil trading, and reserves valuation.
Joule
The joule (/dʒaʊ,dʒuːljawl, jool; symbol: J) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N⋅m). It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818–1889).
