Convert calorie (th) to kilowatt-second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (th) [cal (th)] to kilowatt-second [kW*s], or Convert kilowatt-second to calorie (th).
1 cal (th) = 0.004184 kW*s. To convert calorie (th) to kilowatt-second, multiply the value by 0.004184; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kW*s = 239.005736138 cal (th)). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cal (th) = 0.004184 kW*s
- 1 kW*s = 239.005736138 cal (th)
- 10 cal (th) = 0.04184 kW*s
- 100 cal (th) = 0.4184 kW*s
How to Convert Calorie (Th) to Kilowatt-Second
1 cal (th) = 0.004184 kW*s
Example: convert 15 cal (th) to kW*s:
15 cal (th) = 15 × 0.004184 kW*s = 0.06276 kW*s

Calorie (Th)
The calorie (th) is a unit of energy used to quantify the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
History/Origin
The calorie (th) was historically used in the context of thermochemistry and nutrition, originating from the calorie concept in the 19th century. It has largely been replaced by the joule in scientific contexts but remains in common use in some regions and fields.
Current Use
Today, the calorie (th) is primarily used in nutrition labeling and food energy measurements, especially in regions where the thermochemical calorie is still recognized, although the joule is the SI standard.
Kilowatt-Second
A kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or converted when a power of one kilowatt is applied for one second.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-second has been used historically in physics and engineering to quantify energy, especially in contexts where power and time are relevant, but it is less common than other energy units like joules or kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
Today, the kilowatt-second is primarily used in specialized fields such as electrical engineering and energy calculations, often for convenience in measuring short-term energy transfer, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
