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.
Kilojoules to joules (kJ to J) conversion table shows the most common values for the quick reference. Alternatively, you may use the converter below to convert any other values. 1 Kilojoule (kJ) = 1000 Joules (J). Kilojoule is metric system energy unit (electrical, mechanical or thermal) and equals to 1000 times of the amount of work done by a force of one newton to move an object one meter.
