A kilocalorie, often referred to as a Calorie (with an uppercase 'C'), is a unit of energy commonly used to quantify the amount of energy food provides. It is equivalent to 1,000 small calories or 4.184 kilojoules. Kilocalories are extensively used in the field of nutrition to describe the energy content in the food we consume. When we talk about the number of calories in a meal, we are essentially referring to kilocalories. This measurement helps individuals manage their dietary intake and energy expenditure, playing a crucial role in maintaining a balanced diet and overall health.
Definition of BtuA British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a unit of measurement for energy, primarily used in the United States. It represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at a constant pressure of one atmosphere. BTUs are commonly utilized in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to quantify the energy output of heating and cooling units. Additionally, BTUs are employed in the energy sector to measure the energy content of fuels. Understanding BTUs is crucial for evaluating energy efficiency and consumption in various applications, ensuring optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.

|---|---|
| 0.1 kcal/h·m² | 0.000315 Btu/s·ft² |
| 0.5 kcal/h·m² | 0.001575 Btu/s·ft² |
| 1 kcal/h·m² | 0.003151 Btu/s·ft² |
| 2 kcal/h·m² | 0.006302 Btu/s·ft² |
| 5 kcal/h·m² | 0.015755 Btu/s·ft² |
| 10 kcal/h·m² | 0.03151 Btu/s·ft² |
| 20 kcal/h·m² | 0.06302 Btu/s·ft² |
| 50 kcal/h·m² | 0.15755 Btu/s·ft² |
| 100 kcal/h·m² | 0.3151 Btu/s·ft² |
| 200 kcal/h·m² | 0.6302 Btu/s·ft² |
1 kcal/h·m² = 0.003151 Btu/s·ft²
1 Btu/s·ft² = 317.1 kcal/h·m²
Example 1:
Convert 10 kcal/h·m² to Btu/s·ft²:
10 kcal/h·m² = 10 × 0.003151 Btu/s·ft² = 0.03151 Btu/s·ft²
Example 2:
Convert 5 kcal/h·m² to Btu/s·ft²:
5 kcal/h·m² = 5 × 0.003151 Btu/s·ft² = 0.015755 Btu/s·ft²
The conversion between Kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square Meter and Btu (IT)/second/square Foot reflects energy transfer rates used in various engineering and thermal studies. Historically, as industries evolved, there was a growing need to standardize units for precise thermal energy measurements.
