About Thermochemical calorie per cubic centimetre
The thermochemical calorie per cubic centimetre (cal(th)/cm³) equals exactly 4.184 × 10⁶ J/m³ (1 cal(th) = 4.184 J; 1 cm³ = 10⁻⁶ m³). The CGS energy density unit used extensively in older chemistry, explosives research, and combustion science for solid and liquid fuels. Numerically equal to kcal(th)/L. 1 cal(th)/cm³ = 4.184 MJ/m³.
About Kilojoule per litre
The kilojoule per litre (kJ/L) equals exactly 10⁶ J/m³ = 1 MJ/m³ (since 1 L = 10⁻³ m³). The preferred notation in fuel chemistry and food science for volumetric energy content. Gasoline ≈ 34.2 MJ/L, diesel ≈ 35.8 MJ/L, ethanol ≈ 23.4 MJ/L, LPG ≈ 25.5 MJ/L. 1 kJ/L = 1 MJ/m³ = 10⁶ J/m³.
