Unit Explanations
Cubic Meter Kilogramm³/kg
Source UnitThe cubic meter kilogram is a derived unit of specific volume, defined as the volume occupied by one kilogram of a substance. It is derived from the cubic meter, a unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI), and the kilogram, the base unit of mass. Specific volume expresses how much space a unit mass of a material occupies, which is crucial in various scientific and engineering applications. This unit is particularly relevant in fields such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and material science, where understanding the relationship between mass and volume is essential for calculations and design.
Current Use
Cubic meter kilograms are widely used in engineering, physics, and environmental sciences to describe the specific volume of materials, especially gases and liquids. In industries such as HVAC, chemical engineering, and hydrology, this unit helps in designing equipment and understanding fluid dynamics. Specific volume is critical for calculating buoyancy, flow rates, and thermal properties, making it an essential parameter in many scientific and industrial applications.
Fun Fact
The specific volume of gases varies significantly with pressure and temperature, unlike liquids and solids which are generally incompressible.
Kilocalorie per Kilogram at 176°Ckcal/kg @ 176°C
Target UnitThe kilocalorie per kilogram at 176 degrees Celsius (kcal/kg @ 176°C) is a specific measurement that quantifies the amount of energy in kilocalories associated with one kilogram of a substance, measured at a temperature of 176°C. This unit is commonly used in thermodynamics, nutrition, and chemistry to relate energy content to mass, providing a clear understanding of how much energy can be derived from a specific mass of material at elevated temperatures. It is crucial for applications involving heat transfer, food energy calculations, and material processing.
Current Use
Kilocalories per kilogram at 176°C are widely used in various industries, including food science, nutrition, and thermal engineering. In nutrition, this measure helps to calculate the energy density of food items, especially those subjected to cooking or processing at high temperatures. In engineering, it assists in evaluating the energy efficiency of processes involving heat transfer and material changes at specified temperatures.
Fun Fact
The kilocalorie is often simply referred to as a 'calorie' in dietary contexts, leading to some confusion.

Definition
The cubic meter kilogram is a derived unit of specific volume, defined as the volume occupied by one kilogram of a substance. It is derived from the cubic meter, a unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI), and the kilogram, the base unit of mass. Specific volume expresses how much space a unit mass of a material occupies, which is crucial in various scientific and engineering applications. This unit is particularly relevant in fields such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and material science, where understanding the relationship between mass and volume is essential for calculations and design.
History & Origin
The cubic meter as a unit of volume originated from the metric system established in France during the late 18th century, while the kilogram was defined in 1795. The combination of these two units into cubic meter kilograms provides a practical means to quantify specific volume, often used in engineering and scientific contexts. This derived unit reflects the relationship between mass and volume essential to many physical principles, especially in understanding how substances behave under different conditions.
Etymology: The term 'cubic meter' derives from the Latin 'cubus' meaning cube, and 'meter' from Greek 'metron', meaning measure. 'Kilogram' combines 'kilo' (thousand) and 'gram', which is derived from the Greek 'gramma', meaning small weight.
Current Use
Cubic meter kilograms are widely used in engineering, physics, and environmental sciences to describe the specific volume of materials, especially gases and liquids. In industries such as HVAC, chemical engineering, and hydrology, this unit helps in designing equipment and understanding fluid dynamics. Specific volume is critical for calculating buoyancy, flow rates, and thermal properties, making it an essential parameter in many scientific and industrial applications.
💡 Fun Facts
