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.
You can easily convert joules to calories, calories to BTU, joules to kilojoules, horsepower-hour to ergs, ergs to joules, electronvolts to joules, kilowatt hour to ergs, etc. You can easily calculate 'how many calories make one joule', 'how many joules make one kilojoule'. Additionaly, it supports atomic units of energy: electron volt conversion, hartree and rydberg energy conversion.
