Convert calorie (IT)/hour to megajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to megajoule/second [MJ/s], or Convert megajoule/second to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 1.163e-06 MJ/s. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to megajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.163e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MJ/s = 859845.227859 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 = 1.163e-06 MJ/s
- 1 MJ/s = 859845.227859 cal/h
- 10 cal/h = 1.163e-05 MJ/s
- 100 cal/h = 0.0001163 MJ/s
How to Convert Calorie (It)/hour to Megajoule/second
1 cal/h = 1.163e-06 MJ/s
Example: convert 15 cal/h to MJ/s:
15 cal/h = 15 × 1.163e-06 MJ/s = 1.7445e-05 MJ/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.
Megajoule/second
A megajoule per second (MJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one megajoule of energy transferred or converted per second, where 1 megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify large-scale power, especially in fields like physics and energy systems, as a convenient unit for expressing high power levels. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second).
Current Use
Today, MJ/s is primarily used in scientific research, energy production, and engineering to describe high power outputs, such as in power plants, large-scale energy systems, and theoretical calculations involving energy transfer rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 calorie (IT)/hour in megajoule/second?
1 calorie (IT)/hour (cal/h) = 1.163e-06 megajoule/second (MJ/s).
How do you convert calorie (IT)/hour to megajoule/second?
