What are Calorie and Decijoule

Definition of Calorie

A Calorie is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of nutrition and physics. It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. In nutrition, the term often refers to the kilocalorie, which is equivalent to 1,000 small calories. The Calorie is an important measure for understanding energy intake and expenditure in dietary contexts, as well as in various scientific calculations related to energy transfer and thermodynamics.

Definition of Decijoule

The Decijoule, symbolized as dJ, is a metric unit of energy equal to one-tenth of a joule. It is a smaller unit of the joule, which is the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). The Decijoule is often used in scientific and engineering contexts where small amounts of energy are measured or calculated. Understanding the Decijoule allows for precise energy measurements in various applications, from physics experiments to engineering calculations, where energy conversions and efficiency assessments are essential.

1000 cal/min 698 dJ/s
2000 cal/min 1396 dJ/s

Conversion of Calorie to Decijoule

1 cal/min = 0.698 dJ/s
1 dJ/s = 1.433 cal/min

Example 1:
convert 15 cal/min to dJ/s:
15 cal/min = 15 × 0.698 dJ/s = 10.47 dJ/s

Example 2:
convert 25 cal/min to dJ/s:
25 cal/min = 25 × 0.698 dJ/s = 17.45 dJ/s
