Energy

kJ to MJ conversion

Convert kilojoule (kJ) to megajoule (MJ). Energy is the capacity to do work or transfer heat — the currency of every heat and material balance.

1 kJ = 0.001 MJ

Formula

To convert kilojoule to megajoule, multiply the kJ value by 0.001. To go the other way, divide by 0.001 (or multiply by 1000).

Used in practice

Heat duties integrate to energy in kJ, MJ, or BTU; utilities are billed in kWh or MMBTU.

A calorie, a BTU, and a joule are all energy — keep the conversion factors handy when a spec mixes them.

Worked example. A energy of 3600 kJ is 3.6 MJ.
