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.
Erg
The erg is a unit of energy in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, defined as the amount of work done when a force of one dyne displaces an object by one centimeter.
History/Origin
The erg was introduced in the late 19th century as part of the CGS system of units, primarily used in physics to measure small amounts of energy before the adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the erg is largely obsolete and rarely used outside of specific scientific contexts, with the SI unit joule being the standard for energy measurement. It remains relevant in some fields like astrophysics and theoretical physics.
