Its bank density (the density of a coal seam prior to breaking up during mining) is about 1346 kg/m 3 (84 lb/ft 3) while the bulk density of extracted coal is up to 833 kg/m 3 (52 lb/ft 3). [12] Bituminous coal characteristically burns with a smoky flame and softens and swells during combustion. [13]

The kilogram per cubic metre (symbol: kg·m −3, or kg/m 3) is the unit of density in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined by dividing the SI unit of mass, the kilogram, by the SI unit of volume, the cubic metre. [1]
Relative density or specific gravity of the coal depends on the rank of the coal and degree of mineral impurity. Knowledge of the density of each coal play is necessary to determine the properties of composites and blends. The density of the coal seam is necessary for conversion of resources into reserves.
The contribution of the muscle to the specific heat of the body is approximately 47%, and the contribution of the fat and skin is approximately 24%. The specific heat of tissues range from ~0.7 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for tooth (enamel) to 4.2 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for eye (sclera). [13]
In light-water reactors, 1 kg of natural uranium – following a corresponding enrichment and used for power generation– is equivalent to the energy content of nearly 10,000 kg of mineral oil or 14,000 kg of coal. [16] Comparatively, coal, gas, and petroleum are the current primary energy sources in the U.S. [17] but have a much lower energy ...
The energy density of coal is roughly 24 megajoules per kilogram [80] (approximately 6.7 kilowatt-hours per kg). For a coal power plant with a 40% efficiency, it takes an estimated 325 kg (717 lb) of coal to power a 100 W lightbulb for one year.
Anthracite, also known as hard coal and black coal, is a hard, compact variety of coal that has a submetallic lustre.It has the highest carbon content, the fewest impurities, and the highest energy density of all types of coal and is the highest ranking of coals.
