In certain fields, for example, chemistry and physics, it is often useful to convert between various energy units.  Common examples are the conversions among frequency (MHz), wavenumber (1/cm), energy (hartrees), molar energy (kJ/mol), and temperature (kelvin).

Energy conversions are performed by using the 'energy'=true option with the functions convert/units and convert/dimensions.

Energy conversions may be seen as applying the following transformations on the dimensions of the units:

where c is the absolute value of the speed of light in meters per second, by definition $299792458$, h is the absolute value of the Planck constant in joule seconds, approximately $6.6260755\times {10}^{\mathrm{-34}}$, and k is the absolute value of the Boltzmann constant in joules per kelvin, approximately $1.380658\times {10}^{\mathrm{-23}}$.
