What is a Quad and a Megajoule?

1 quad = 1.055×10¹⁸ joules (J)

1 MJ = 1,000,000 J = 1,000 kJ = 0.278 kWh = 948 BTU = 239 kcal

Note: The Quad is part of the imperial/US customary system, primarily used in the US, UK, and Canada for everyday measurements. The Megajoule belongs to the imperial/US customary system.

Common Uses and Applications: quads vs megajoules

Explore the typical applications for both Quad (imperial/US) and Megajoule (imperial/US) to understand their common contexts.

Common Uses for quads

Used in physics, engineering, energy systems, and scientific calculations where this energy scale is appropriate for the application.

When to Use megajoules

Automotive: Crash test energy, fuel energy content specifications. Energy: Natural gas content, biomass energy, fuel comparisons. Manufacturing: Industrial heating, process energy requirements. Nutrition: Large-scale food production energy calculations.

How many MJ in a liter of gasoline?

1 liter of gasoline ≈ 32 MJ (varies slightly by formulation)

Other fuels:

Diesel: ~36 MJ/liter (higher energy density)
E85 ethanol: ~24 MJ/liter
LPG: ~26 MJ/liter
Jet fuel: ~35 MJ/liter

How do I convert MJ to joules?

Formula: J = MJ × 1,000,000

Examples:

1 MJ = 1,000,000 J
0.1 MJ = 100,000 J = 100 kJ
10 MJ = 10,000,000 J = 10,000 kJ

How many MJ does a car use per 100 km?

Typical fuel consumption:

Small car (5 L/100km): ~160 MJ/100km
Medium car (8 L/100km): ~256 MJ/100km
SUV (12 L/100km): ~384 MJ/100km
Electric car (20 kWh/100km): ~72 MJ/100km

Gasoline cars use roughly 2-3x more energy than EVs due to engine efficiency losses.
