Convert calorie (IT)/hour to calorie (IT)/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to calorie (IT)/second [cal/s], or Convert calorie (IT)/second to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 0.000277777777778 cal/s. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to calorie (IT)/second, multiply the value by 0.000277777777778; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cal/s = 3600 cal/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Calorie (It)/hour
Calorie per hour (cal/h) is a unit of power that measures the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or consumed over time.
History/Origin
The calorie has been used historically in nutrition and thermodynamics to quantify energy. The cal/h unit emerged in contexts where energy transfer rates were expressed in calories per hour, particularly in heating and metabolic studies.
Current Use
Cal/h is used in specific scientific and engineering applications, such as measuring heat transfer rates, metabolic rates, and in some thermal engineering contexts, although it is less common than SI units like watts.
Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
Frequently Asked Questions
