Convert calorie (IT)/hour to millijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to millijoule/second [mJ/s], or Convert millijoule/second to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 1163 mJ/s. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to millijoule/second, multiply the value by 1163; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mJ/s = 0.000859845227859 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 = 1163 mJ/s
- 1 mJ/s = 0.000859845227859 cal/h
- 10 cal/h = 11630 mJ/s
- 100 cal/h = 116300 mJ/s
How to Convert Calorie (It)/hour to Millijoule/second
1 cal/h = 1163 mJ/s
Example: convert 15 cal/h to mJ/s:
15 cal/h = 15 × 1163 mJ/s = 17445 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.
Millijoule/second
A millijoule per second (mJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one millijoule of energy transferred or converted every second.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the joule, the SI unit of energy, and the second, the SI unit of time. It has been used in contexts requiring small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering applications, with the millijoule being a submultiple of the joule.
Current Use
Millijoule per second is used to measure small power levels in scientific experiments, electronics, and other fields where precise, small-scale power measurement is necessary, often within the context of energy transfer or consumption rates.
