About Kilowatt-hour per cubic metre
The kilowatt-hour per cubic metre (kWh/m³) equals exactly 3.6 × 10⁶ J/m³. Widely used in battery technology and electrical energy storage: Li-ion cells ≈ 200-700 kWh/m³, pumped hydro ≈ 0.27-1.5 Wh/m³. Also used for volumetric electricity price comparisons. 1 kWh/m³ = 3.6 MJ/m³ = 3600 kJ/m³.
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.
