About Thermochemical kilocalorie per cubic metre
The thermochemical kilocalorie per cubic metre (kcal(th)/m³) equals exactly 4184 J/m³ (1 kcal(th) = 4184 J). Used in older continental European and Russian engineering references for volumetric heating values of gases and process heat. 1 kcal(th)/m³ = 4184 J/m³ ≈ 1.162 Wh/m³.
About Gigajoule per cubic metre
The gigajoule per cubic metre (GJ/m³) equals exactly 10⁹ J/m³. Used for the energy density of high-energy-density materials and liquefied fuels: LNG ≈ 22.2 GJ/m³, liquid hydrogen ≈ 8.49 GJ/m³, petrol ≈ 34.2 GJ/m³. Also useful for large-scale thermal energy storage reservoirs. 1 GJ/m³ = 10³ MJ/m³ = 10⁹ J/m³.
