What is calorie (thermochemical)?

The thermochemical calorie is a unit of energy equal to approximately 4.184 joules. It is used in chemistry and physics to express small heat quantities, particularly in thermochemical experiments.

What is kilowatt hour?

A kilowatt hour is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 watt hours. It is the standard billing unit used by electricity providers worldwide to measure household and commercial energy consumption.
