Erg
The erg is a unit of energy in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, defined as the amount of work done when a force of one dyne displaces an object by one centimeter.
History/Origin
The erg was introduced in the late 19th century as part of the CGS system of units, primarily used in physics to measure small amounts of energy before the adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the erg is largely obsolete and rarely used outside of specific scientific contexts, with the SI unit joule being the standard for energy measurement. It remains relevant in some fields like astrophysics and theoretical physics.
Fuel Oil Equivalent @kiloliter
Fuel oil equivalent (foe) is a unit of energy representing the amount of energy contained in one kiloliter of fuel oil.
History/Origin
The foe has been used historically in energy and fuel industries to quantify large quantities of energy, particularly in the context of oil and energy resource assessments.
Current Use
Today, the foe is primarily used in energy statistics and reports to compare and aggregate energy consumption and production across different sources and regions.
