A joule is defined as the amount of energy required to move an object that weighs 1 pound 9 inches. A kilojoule is 1,000 joules. A Celsius heat unit -- not to be confused with degrees Celsius -- is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 lb. of pure water by 1 C. It equals 453.59237 international table calories. Because the Celsius heat unit and the kilojoule are measures of energy, you can convert measurement in Celsius heat units to the equivalent measurement in kilojoules.
