Convert calorie (th)/second to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to calorie (th)/second.
1 cal(th)/s = 4.184 kJ/s. To convert calorie (th)/second to kilojoule/second, multiply the value by 4.184; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kJ/s = 0.239005736138 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 = 4.184 kJ/s
- 1 kJ/s = 0.239005736138 cal(th)/s
- 10 cal(th)/s = 41.84 kJ/s
- 100 cal(th)/s = 418.4 kJ/s
How to Convert Calorie (Th)/second to Kilojoule/second

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 It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
