Calculation Formula

Energy Density (E) = Mass (m) / Volume (V)

Where:
E = Energy Density (J/m³)
m = Mass (kg)
V = Volume (m³)

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the mass of the substance in kilograms (kg) in the "Mass" field.
  2. Enter the volume of the substance in cubic meters (m³) in the "Volume" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the energy density.
  4. The result will be displayed in joules per cubic meter (J/m³).

Understanding Energy Density

Energy density is a measure of how much energy is stored in a given system or space per unit volume. It is commonly used to characterize the energy storage capacity of a fuel or energy source.

The formula used in this calculator is:

E = m / V

Where:

  • E = Energy Density
  • m = Mass of the substance
  • V = Volume of the substance

Examples of Energy Density

Different substances have different energy densities:

  • Gasoline: ~35-45 MJ/m³
  • Coal: ~24-30 MJ/m³
  • Uranium (in nuclear reactors): ~7.6 x 10⁷ MJ/m³
  • Li-ion battery: ~0.25-0.5 MJ/m³

This calculator is particularly useful for comparing the energy storage capabilities of different materials or for calculating the energy content of various substances.
