Convert calorie (th)/second to centiwatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s] to centiwatt [cW], or Convert centiwatt to calorie (th)/second.
1 cal(th)/s = 418400 cW. To convert calorie (th)/second to centiwatt, multiply the value by 418400; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cW = 2.39005736138e-06 cal(th)/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(th)/s = 418400 cW
- 1 cW = 2.39005736138e-06 cal(th)/s
- 10 cal(th)/s = 4184000 cW
- 100 cal(th)/s = 41840000 cW
How to Convert Calorie (Th)/second to Centiwatt
1 cal(th)/s = 418400 cW
Example: convert 15 cal(th)/s to cW:
15 cal(th)/s = 15 × 418400 cW = 6276000 cW

Calorie (Th)/second
Calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which thermal calories are transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie (th), or thermochemical calorie, was historically used to quantify energy in thermodynamics and nutrition. Its use in power measurement, such as cal(th)/s, emerged in scientific contexts to express thermal energy transfer rates before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/s is rarely used in scientific practice, having been largely replaced by watts (W). It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
