Convert calorie (IT)/second to hectojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/second [cal/s] to hectojoule/second [hJ/s], or Convert hectojoule/second to calorie (IT)/second.
1 cal/s = 41.868 hJ/s. To convert calorie (IT)/second to hectojoule/second, multiply the value by 41.868; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hJ/s = 0.0238845896627 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 = 41.868 hJ/s
- 1 hJ/s = 0.0238845896627 cal/s
- 10 cal/s = 418.68 hJ/s
- 100 cal/s = 4186.8 hJ/s
How to Convert Calorie (It)/second to Hectojoule/second
1 cal/s = 41.868 hJ/s
Example: convert 15 cal/s to hJ/s:
15 cal/s = 15 × 41.868 hJ/s = 628.02 hJ/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.
Hectojoule/second
Hectojoule per second (hJ/s) is a unit of power representing one hundred joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The unit hJ/s is derived from the SI unit joule (J) and the metric prefix hecto- (h), used to express larger quantities of energy transfer rate, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts. It has been used as an alternative to watts in certain fields, though watts are more standard.
Current Use
Hectojoule per second is occasionally used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify power, especially in contexts where larger energy transfer rates are involved. However, the watt (W) remains the standard SI unit for power, and hJ/s is less common in everyday use.
