Key Formulas
Kilocalorie → Kilojoule
kJ = kcal × 4.184Kilojoule → Kilocalorie
kcal = kJ × 0.239006Kilowatt-Hour → Joule
J = kWh × 3600000Joule → Kilowatt-Hour
kWh = J × 2.77778e-7Formula
ft·lbf = Wh × 2655.2One watt-hour equals 2655.2 foot-pounds force. Since 1 Wh = 3600 J and 1 ft·lbf = 1.356 J, the conversion is 3600/1.356 = 2655 ft·lbf per Wh. This is useful in mechanical engineering when comparing electrical energy to mechanical work.
