Convert calorie (IT)/hour to centijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to centijoule/second [cJ/s], or Convert centijoule/second to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 116.3 cJ/s. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to centijoule/second, multiply the value by 116.3; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cJ/s = 0.00859845227859 cal/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cal/h = 116.3 cJ/s
- 1 cJ/s = 0.00859845227859 cal/h
- 10 cal/h = 1163 cJ/s
- 100 cal/h = 11630 cJ/s
How to Convert Calorie (It)/hour to Centijoule/second
1 cal/h = 116.3 cJ/s
Example: convert 15 cal/h to cJ/s:
15 cal/h = 15 × 116.3 cJ/s = 1744.5 cJ/s

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.
Centijoule/second
A centijoule per second (cJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to 0.01 joules per second.
History/Origin
The centijoule per second is derived from the SI unit joule, with the prefix centi indicating a hundredth, and is used in contexts requiring smaller power measurements. It has been in use as a supplementary unit in scientific and engineering fields where precise, small-scale power measurements are needed.
Current Use
The cJ/s is used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications involving small power quantities, such as in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), low-power electronics, and detailed energy transfer analyses within the 'Power' converter category.
