15ºC kilocalories
1 J = 0.00023892008123 kcal15
20ºC kilocalories
1 J = 0.00023912003826 kcal20
How many Joules are in one kiloCalorie?
Thermochemical / Food Kilocalories
1 kcalth = 4184 J
International kilocalories
1 kcalIT = 4186.8 J
15ºC kilocalories
1 kcal15 = 4185.5 J
20ºC kilocalories
1 kcal20 = 4182 J
Conversion Example:
If we want to convert 9000J in kiloCalories, then we will proceed as following:
Joules to Thermochemical Kilocalories
E(kcal) = E(J) / 4184 = 9000 / 4.184 = 2.1510516252 kcalth
Joules to International Kilocalories
E(kcal-IT) = E(J) / 4186.8 = 9000 / 4186.8 = 2.1496130696 kcalIT
Joules to 15ºC kilocalories
E(kcal15) = E(J) / 4185.5 = 9000 / 4185.5 = 2.1502807311 kcal15
Joules to 20ºC kilocalories
E(kcal20) = E(J) / 4182 = 9000 / 4182 = 2.1520803443 kcal20
Definition of Joule provided by Dictionary.com
the standard unit of work or energy in the International System of Units (SI), equal to the work done by a force of one newton when its point of application moves through a distance of one meter in the direction of the force: equivalent to 10 7ergs and one watt-second.
Definition of kiloCalorie provided by Oxford Dictionaries
A unit of energy of 1,000 calories (equal to 1 large calorie).
Definition of kiloCalorie provided by Vocabulary.com
a unit of heat equal to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree at one atmosphere pressure; used by nutritionists to characterize the energy-producing potential in food
