Joules to PSI Conversion
Converting energy from joules to pressure in PSI requires knowledge of the volume over which the energy is distributed. This calculator takes the energy in joules and the volume in cubic meters to calculate the pressure in pounds per square inch (PSI).
Calculation Formula
The formulas used in this conversion are:
-
Pressure in Pascals: \[ \text{Pressure (Pascals)} = \frac{\text{Energy (Joules)}}{\text{Volume (Cubic Meters)}} \]
-
Pressure in PSI: \[ \text{Pressure (PSI)} = \frac{\text{Pressure (Pascals)}}{6894.76} \]
Example Calculation
If you have 1000 Joules of energy distributed over 2 cubic meters, the calculation would be:
\[ \text{Pressure (Pascals)} = \frac{1000}{2} = 500 \text{ Pascals} \]
\[ \text{Pressure (PSI)} = \frac{500}{6894.76} \approx 0.0725 \text{ PSI} \]
Application and Use Cases
This conversion is useful in scenarios where you need to determine the pressure exerted by a given amount of energy over a specific volume, such as in engineering and physics applications.
