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.
Kilowatt-Second
A kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or converted when a power of one kilowatt is applied for one second.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-second has been used historically in physics and engineering to quantify energy, especially in contexts where power and time are relevant, but it is less common than other energy units like joules or kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
Today, the kilowatt-second is primarily used in specialized fields such as electrical engineering and energy calculations, often for convenience in measuring short-term energy transfer, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most applications.
