Convert calorie (th)/second to kilowatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s] to kilowatt [kW], or Convert kilowatt to calorie (th)/second.
1 cal(th)/s = 4.184 kW. To convert calorie (th)/second to kilowatt, multiply the value by 4.184; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kW = 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 kW
- 1 kW = 0.239005736138 cal(th)/s
- 10 cal(th)/s = 41.84 kW
- 100 cal(th)/s = 418.4 kW
How to Convert Calorie (Th)/second to Kilowatt
1 cal(th)/s = 4.184 kW
Example: convert 15 cal(th)/s to kW:
15 cal(th)/s = 15 × 4.184 kW = 62.76 kW

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 It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
Kilowatt
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption.
History/Origin
The kilowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a practical unit for measuring larger power outputs, especially in engineering and electrical contexts, and has been widely adopted since the 20th century.
Current Use
The kilowatt is commonly used today to specify the power output of engines, electrical appliances, and power generation facilities, as well as in billing for electricity consumption and capacity ratings.
