Convert calorie (IT)/second to dekajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/second [cal/s] to dekajoule/second [daJ/s], or Convert dekajoule/second to calorie (IT)/second.
1 cal/s = 418.68 daJ/s. To convert calorie (IT)/second to dekajoule/second, multiply the value by 418.68; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daJ/s = 0.00238845896627 cal/s). 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/s = 418.68 daJ/s
- 1 daJ/s = 0.00238845896627 cal/s
- 10 cal/s = 4186.8 daJ/s
- 100 cal/s = 41868 daJ/s
How to Convert Calorie (It)/second to Dekajoule/second
1 cal/s = 418.68 daJ/s
Example: convert 15 cal/s to daJ/s:
15 cal/s = 15 × 418.68 daJ/s = 6280.2 daJ/s

Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
Dekajoule/second
Dekajoule per second (daJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one dekajoule equals ten joules per second.
History/Origin
The dekajoule is a non-SI unit introduced as a multiple of the joule, primarily used in older or specialized contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of the SI system, but it remains recognized for certain applications involving large energy quantities.
Current Use
Today, daJ/s is rarely used in scientific contexts, with the watt (W) being the standard SI unit for power. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial measurements where larger energy units are convenient.
