Formula for Conversion

The formulas for converting Joules to different calorie units are as follows:

  • Thermochemical Calories (calth):
    E(calth) = E(J) / 4.184
    Example: Convert 600 Joules to thermochemical calories:
    E(calth) = 600 / 4.184 ≈ 143.4 calth
  • 15°C Calories (cal15):
    E(cal15) = E(J) / 4.1855
    Example: Convert 600 Joules to 15°C calories:
    E(cal15) = 600 / 4.1855 ≈ 143.35 cal15
  • Food Calories (Cal):
    E(Cal) = E(J) / 4184
    Example: Convert 600 Joules to food calories:
    E(Cal) = 600 / 4184 ≈ 0.1434 Cal
