What is a kilocalorie (th)?

The kilocalorie (thermochemical) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 thermochemical calories and defined as exactly 4,184 joules. It is commonly used in food energy content and thermal engineering.

What does one pound-force inch represent?

One pound-force inch is the energy resulting from a one pound-force applied through a one-inch distance, typically used in US customary mechanical contexts.

Why convert kilocalorie (th) to pound-force inch?

Converting these units helps translate thermal energy measures into mechanical energy relevant in US customary systems, useful for comparing or integrating data across disciplines.
