Conversion Example:
If we want to convert 0.5 kiloCalories in kiloJoules, then we will proceed as following:
Kilojoules to Thermochemical Kilocalories
E(kJ) = E(kcalth) × 4.184 = 8 × 4.184 = 2.092 kJ
Kilojoules to International Kilocalories
E(kJ) = E(kcalIT) × 4.1868 = 8 × 4.1868 = 2.0934 kJ
Kilojoules to 15ºC Kilocalories
E(kJ) = E(kcal15) × 4.1855 = 8 × 4.1855 = 2.09275 kJ
Kilojoules to 20ºC Kilocalories
E(kJ) = E(kcal20) × 4.182 = 8 × 4.182 = 2.091 kJ
