Convert calorie / hour to joules / hour

Learn how to convert 1 calorie / hour to joules / hour step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{h o u r}) = x (\frac{j o u l e s}{h o u r})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{h o u r}) = \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (w a t t) = \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (W)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{j o u l e s}{h o u r}) = \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (w a t t) = \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{h o u r}) = x (\frac{j o u l e s}{h o u r})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (w a t t) = x \times \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (W) = x \cdot \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (W) = x \times \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (W)

Conversion Equation

\frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = x \times \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = x \times \frac{1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Simplify

4.1868 = x

Switch sides

x = 4.1868

Solve

x

x = 4.1868

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{h o u r}) = 4.1868 (\frac{j o u l e s}{h o u r})
