Convert calorie (IT)/hour to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 0.001163 kJ/s. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to kilojoule/second, multiply the value by 0.001163; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kJ/s = 859.845227859 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 = 0.001163 kJ/s
- 1 kJ/s = 859.845227859 cal/h
- 10 cal/h = 0.01163 kJ/s
- 100 cal/h = 0.1163 kJ/s
How to Convert Calorie (It)/hour to Kilojoule/second
1 cal/h = 0.001163 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 cal/h to kJ/s:
15 cal/h = 15 × 0.001163 kJ/s = 0.017445 kJ/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.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 calorie (IT)/hour in kilojoule/second?
1 calorie (IT)/hour (cal/h) = 0.001163 kilojoule/second (kJ/s).
How do you convert calorie (IT)/hour to kilojoule/second?
