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 Megajoule per cubic metre

The megajoule per cubic metre (MJ/m³) equals exactly 10⁶ J/m³. The practical SI unit for fuel energy density: natural gas ≈ 35-40 MJ/m³, hydrogen (liquid) ≈ 8490 MJ/m³, diesel ≈ 34,200 MJ/m³. Numerically equal to kJ/L and widely used in fuel standards and energy audits. 1 MJ/m³ = 10⁶ J/m³ = 1 kJ/L.
