Convert calorie (th)/hour to gigajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (th)/hour [cal(th)/h] to gigajoule/second [GJ/s], or Convert gigajoule/second to calorie (th)/hour.
1 cal(th)/h = 1.16222222e-09 GJ/s. To convert calorie (th)/hour to gigajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.16222222e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GJ/s = 860420651.741 cal(th)/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Calorie (Th)/hour
Calorie per hour (cal(th)/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of heat energy in calories transferred or used per hour.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and physics. The 'th' denotes the thermochemical calorie, an older standard. The unit cal(th)/h has been used historically in thermodynamics and heat transfer measurements.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/h is rarely used in modern scientific contexts, having been largely replaced by SI units like watts. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specialized fields involving heat transfer calculations.
Gigajoule/second
A gigajoule per second (GJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one gigajoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The gigajoule per second emerged as a larger-scale unit of power measurement, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify high power levels, especially in energy production and consumption. It is derived from the SI unit joule and the prefix giga, combined with the second as the time unit.
Current Use
GJ/s is used in fields such as energy industry, power generation, and large-scale energy transfer analysis to express high power rates, often in the context of power plants, energy infrastructure, and large energy projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 calorie (th)/hour in gigajoule/second?
1 calorie (th)/hour (cal(th)/h) = 1.16222222e-09 gigajoule/second (GJ/s).
How do you convert calorie (th)/hour to gigajoule/second?
