Frequently Asked Questions

What does calorie (th)/gram measure?
Calorie (th)/gram measures the specific energy, indicating how many thermochemical calories of energy are contained per gram of material.

Why convert calorie (th)/gram to joule/kilogram?
Converting to joule/kilogram expresses specific energy in the SI unit, allowing easier comparison, calculation, and integration in scientific and engineering contexts.

Can this conversion be used for total energy values?
No, this conversion applies only to specific energy values normalized per unit mass and not to total energy values without mass normalization.

Key Terminology

Calorie (th)/gram [cal (th)/g]
A unit expressing specific energy based on thermochemical calories per gram of material, where 1 cal (th)/g equals 4.184 joules per gram.
Joule/kilogram [J/kg]
The SI unit for specific energy representing the energy amount per kilogram, widely used in fuel efficiency and thermodynamic calculations.
Specific Energy
The quantity of energy contained or released per unit mass of a material.
