Convert calorie (IT)/hour to petajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to petajoule/second [PJ/s], or Convert petajoule/second to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 1.1630e-15 PJ/s. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to petajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.1630e-15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PJ/s = 8.5985e+14 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 = 1.1630e-15 PJ/s
- 1 PJ/s = 8.5985e+14 cal/h
- 10 cal/h = 1.1630e-14 PJ/s
- 100 cal/h = 1.1630e-13 PJ/s
How to Convert Calorie (It)/hour to Petajoule/second
1 cal/h = 1.163e-15 PJ/s
Example: convert 15 cal/h to PJ/s:
15 cal/h = 15 × 1.163e-15 PJ/s = 1.7445e-14 PJ/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.
Petajoule/second
A petajoule per second (PJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one petajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The petajoule (PJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power in terms of energy per unit time has been fundamental in physics, with the watt (W) as the SI base unit. The petajoule per second emerged as a large-scale unit for high-energy power measurements, especially in fields like energy production and scientific research.
Current Use
Petajoule per second is used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify extremely high power levels, such as in nuclear energy, large-scale power generation, and astrophysics. It is also used in theoretical and large-scale energy calculations where conventional units like watts are insufficient.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 calorie (IT)/hour in petajoule/second?
1 calorie (IT)/hour (cal/h) = 1.1630e-15 petajoule/second (PJ/s).
How do you convert calorie (IT)/hour to petajoule/second?
Multiply the calorie (IT)/hour value by 1.1630e-15. For example, 25 cal/h × 1.1630e-15 = 2.9075e-14 PJ/s.
What is 10 calorie (IT)/hour in petajoule/second?
10 cal/h = 1.1630e-14 PJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the calorie (IT)/hour or the petajoule/second?
The petajoule/second is the larger unit: 1 cal/h equals only 1.1630e-15 PJ/s.
