Convert calorie (IT)/second to nanowatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/second [cal/s] to nanowatt [nW], or Convert nanowatt to calorie (IT)/second.
1 cal/s = 4.1868e+12 nW. To convert calorie (IT)/second to nanowatt, multiply the value by 4.1868e+12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nW = 2.3885e-13 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 = 4.1868e+12 nW
- 1 nW = 2.3885e-13 cal/s
- 10 cal/s = 4.1868e+13 nW
- 100 cal/s = 4.1868e+14 nW
How to Convert Calorie (It)/second to Nanowatt
1 cal/s = 4186800000000 nW
Example: convert 15 cal/s to nW:
15 cal/s = 15 × 4186800000000 nW = 62802000000000 nW

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.
Nanowatt
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10^-9 W).
History/Origin
The nanowatt is derived from the SI unit watt, with the prefix 'nano-' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very small power levels, especially in electronics and nanotechnology.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in fields requiring precise measurement of tiny power quantities, such as in sensor technology, low-power electronics, and nanotechnology research.
