About kilocalorie
The kilocalorie (thermochemical) is a unit of energy or work equal to 4,184 joules (1 kcal = 4,184 J), the SI derived unit of energy.
The kilocalorie (thermochemical) is also equal to 4.184 kilojoules (kJ), or 10-6 gigacalories (thermochemical) (Gcal), or 3.965667 British thermal units (IT) (BTU), or 2.203148 Celsius heat units (IT) (CHU), or 1.16222222 watt hours (Wh) or 0.00116222222 kilowatt hours (kWh).
The kilocalorie is the energy required to increase the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius (or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) at a constant pressure of one atmosphere.
The kilocalorie definition varies as follows:
