Megaelectron-Volt
A megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy equal to one million electron-volts, commonly used in nuclear and particle physics to express the energy of particles.
History/Origin
The megaelectron-volt was introduced as a convenient unit for expressing high-energy particles in physics, particularly after the development of particle accelerators in the mid-20th century, replacing the electron-volt for larger energy scales.
Current Use
Today, the MeV is widely used in nuclear physics, particle physics, and astrophysics to quantify the energy of subatomic particles, nuclear reactions, and cosmic phenomena.
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.
