Conversion Example:
If we want to convert 0.5 kiloCalories in Joules, then we will proceed as following:
Thermochemical Kilocalories to Joules
E(J) = 4184 × E(kcal-th) = 4184 × 0.5 = 2092 J
International Kilocalories to Joules
E(J) = 4186.8 × E(kcal-IT) = 4186.8 × 0.5 = 2093.4 J
15ºC Kilocalories to Joules
E(J) = 4185.5 × E(kcal15) = 4185.5 × 0.5 = 2092.75 J
20ºC Kilocalories to Joules
E(J) = / 4182 × E(kcal20) = 4182 × 0.5 = 2091 J
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
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.
