What are Kilocalorie and Millijoule

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie is a unit of energy commonly used to quantify the amount of energy provided by food. In scientific terms, it is equivalent to 1,000 calories, where one calorie is the energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. The kilocalorie is often used in the context of nutrition and exercise to measure the energy intake from food and the energy expenditure during physical activities. Its widespread usage in dietary contexts has made it a familiar term for those monitoring their energy balance and nutritional intake.

Definition of Millijoule

A millijoule is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), representing one-thousandth of a joule. Joules are the standard unit of energy used in physics, representing the work done when a force of one newton displaces an object by one meter. Millijoules are commonly used in scientific contexts where measuring small amounts of energy is necessary, such as in electrical circuits, laser technology, and other precise applications. The millijoule's small size makes it ideal for detailing energy measurements at a more granular level, enhancing the precision of scientific calculations and experiments.

Conversion of Kilocalorie to Millijoule

1 kcal/min = 69.8 mJ/s
1 mJ/s = 0.0143 kcal/min

Example 1:
convert 5 kcal/min to mJ/s:
5 kcal/min = 5 × 69.8 mJ/s = 349 mJ/s

Example 2:
convert 3.5 kcal/min to mJ/s:
3.5 kcal/min = 3.5 × 69.8 mJ/s = 244.3 mJ/s
