Arguments

x

an R object containing numerical values to be converted

Details

These functions use the universalConstants data set to convert energy values from a given unit to an other. Their are first converted to Joule and then to the desired unit. With care, the functions may be applied also to otherquantities (e.g. temperatures, wavenumbers, etc...)

Value

Return x multiplied by conversion factors.
