Thermies (FR)

Definition

A thermie is a French unit of heat energy equal to 1,000 kilocalories, or approximately 4,184,000 joules. It was historically used in French engineering and heating systems.

History

The thermie was used in France and other French-speaking countries throughout the 20th century for industrial heating and energy calculations, before the widespread adoption of joules and kilowatt-hours.

Current use

The thermie is now largely obsolete but may still appear in older French engineering documentation, historical heating system specifications, and some regulatory texts.

Kilocalories (kcal)

Definition

A kilocalorie (kcal), also known as a food calorie or large calorie, equals 1,000 small calories or approximately 4,184 joules. It is the standard unit for measuring dietary energy.

History

The kilocalorie became the standard unit for food energy labeling in the United States and many other countries during the 20th century. Nutritionist Wilbur Olin Atwater pioneered its use in dietary science.

Current use

Kilocalories are the primary unit for food energy on nutrition labels in the US, Canada, and much of Asia. They are also used in exercise science, dietetics, and metabolic rate calculations.
