Specific latent heatexact by definition
The kilocalorie per kilogram is 4184 J/kg on the thermochemical calorie. European refrigeration tables and older steam tables use it, and it is numerically identical to the small calorie per gram already in the catalog.
Watch out: Food energy is quoted in kcal per 100 g, which is this unit divided by ten and, confusingly, called a Calorie with a capital C in North American labelling. One food Calorie is one kilocalorie.
