Converting from Kilojoule (kJ) to Gigacalorie (Gcal) | Energy

What is Kilojoule (kJ)

Kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is commonly used to quantify energy content in food and beverages. 1 kilojoule is equivalent to 1000 joules.

What is Gigacalorie (Gcal)

Gigacalorie (Gcal) is a unit of energy equal to one billion calories. It is typically used in the context of measuring the energy content of large-scale systems, such as power plants or industrial processes.

Conversion Formulas

The formulas for converting between kilojoules (kJ) and gigacalories (Gcal) are as follows:

1. To convert kJ to Gcal: Gcal=kJ×0.0000002388459
2. To convert Gcal to kJ: kJ=Gcal×4186800

Examples

1. Converting 7 kJ to Gcal:

7 kJ=7×0.0000002388459 Gcal=0.000001671921 Gcal

2. Converting 15 kJ to Gcal:

15 kJ=15×0.0000002388459 Gcal=0.000003582688 Gcal

3. Converting 13 Gcal to kJ:

13 Gcal=13×4186800 kJ=54428400 kJ

Conclusion

Use the provided conversion formulas and examples to easily convert energy measurements between kilojoules (kJ) and gigacalories (Gcal) for various applications.
