Convert calorie (IT)/hour to dekajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to dekajoule/second [daJ/s], or Convert dekajoule/second to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 0.1163 daJ/s. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to dekajoule/second, multiply the value by 0.1163; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daJ/s = 8.59845227859 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 = 0.1163 daJ/s
- 1 daJ/s = 8.59845227859 cal/h
- 10 cal/h = 1.163 daJ/s
- 100 cal/h = 11.63 daJ/s
How to Convert Calorie (It)/hour to Dekajoule/second
1 cal/h = 0.1163 daJ/s
Example: convert 15 cal/h to daJ/s:
15 cal/h = 15 × 0.1163 daJ/s = 1.7445 daJ/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.
Dekajoule/second
Dekajoule per second (daJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one dekajoule equals ten joules per second.
History/Origin
The dekajoule is a non-SI unit introduced as a multiple of the joule, primarily used in older or specialized contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of the SI system, but it remains recognized for certain applications involving large energy quantities.
Current Use
Today, daJ/s is rarely used in scientific contexts, with the watt (W) being the standard SI unit for power. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial measurements where larger energy units are convenient.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 calorie (IT)/hour in dekajoule/second?
1 calorie (IT)/hour (cal/h) = 0.1163 dekajoule/second (daJ/s).
How do you convert calorie (IT)/hour to dekajoule/second?
Multiply the calorie (IT)/hour value by 0.1163. For example, 25 cal/h × 0.1163 = 2.9075 daJ/s.
