Convert calorie (IT)/hour to terawatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to terawatt [TW], or Convert terawatt to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 1.1630e-12 TW. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to terawatt, multiply the value by 1.1630e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TW = 859845227859 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-12 TW
- 1 TW = 859845227859 cal/h
- 10 cal/h = 1.1630e-11 TW
- 100 cal/h = 1.1630e-10 TW
How to Convert Calorie (It)/hour to Terawatt
1 cal/h = 1.163e-12 TW
Example: convert 15 cal/h to TW:
15 cal/h = 15 × 1.163e-12 TW = 1.7445e-11 TW

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.
Terawatt
A terawatt (TW) is a unit of power equal to one trillion watts (10^12 watts).
History/Origin
The term 'terawatt' was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify extremely large power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production, gaining prominence in the 20th century with advancements in large-scale energy and power measurement.
Current Use
Terawatts are used to describe the total power output of large-scale energy sources, such as the total global power consumption, solar radiation received by Earth, and astrophysical phenomena.
