Quoting:

"From Langmuir's experiments and findings we know that the minimum calorific 
value for the recombination of atoms was agreed to be in the region 90.000 
cal/gram molecule.  In other words we have an input energy of 103 cal/gram 
molecule and an output energy of 90.000 cal/gram molecule."

So, if I understand you correctly, you are saying one of these numbers is in 
nutritional Calories and the other in thermal calories?  If so, this process is 
not ou (or the numbers are off).

I'll try reading Langmuir's original May 4, 1912 article and see if I can 
figure which is true.
