Description
Return energy dilution after adding water.
Food energy and label values depend on the declared nutrient factors, serving basis and rounding convention. A numerical fraction or rounding envelope does not select a regulatory rule, establish food quality or determine individual nutritional needs.
Return energy dilution after adding water.
When to use this tool
Use Added Water Energy Density Term when checking one explicit energy, label-resolution or rounding term.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter originalEnergy, originalMass, addedWaterMass. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read newMass, energyPerMass, dilutionFactor. Use the output convention below.
Return energy dilution after adding water. Require nonnegative originalEnergy and addedWaterMass and positive originalMass; newMass is their mass sum, energyPerMass = originalEnergy/newMass, dilutionFactor = originalMass/newMass.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| originalEnergy | Original Energy | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| originalMass | Original Mass | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| addedWaterMass | Added Water Mass | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| newMass | New Mass | Required. Finite number. |
| energyPerMass | Energy Per Mass | Required. Finite number. |
| dilutionFactor | Dilution Factor | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Assume no energy loss or other ingredient change; nutrient adequacy and safe preparation are not assessed.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the applicable labeling method and matched food-composition basis; assess dietary implications with appropriate professional context.
