I think it may vary depending on the burn center and the needs. I used to work at a burn center before I started medical school. Both attendings were general surgeons with fellowships in burn-trauma, one of them also had a second fellowship in critical care. Nov 1, 2004. #5.
Joules can also be converted from calories, as calories are another unit of energy. There are 4.19 joules in every calorie. You can calculate joules by calculating the kinetic energy, or energy of motion, of an object.You can also calculate the joules by calculating the amount of work accomplished by a person or machine. Lastly, you can calculate joules by converting directly from a measurement in calories.n science, the joule is the unit of energy or work. It is a compound unit defined as 1 newton of force over a distance of 1 meter, or as the kinetic energy of a 1 kilogram mass moving at one meter per second.
Unit of measure equivalents (for electricity) ENERGY UNITS AND CONVERSIONS by Dennis Silverman www.physics.uci.edu/~silverma. 1 Joule (J) is the MKS unit of energy, equal to the force of one Newton acting through one meter. 1 Watt is the power of a Joule of energy per second. Power = Current x Voltage (P = I V) 1 Watt is the power from a current of 1 Ampere flowing through 1 Volt. 1 kilowatt is a thousand Watts. 1 kilowatt-hour is the energy of one kilowatt power flowing for one hour.
