Convert calorie (th)/second to milliwatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s] to milliwatt [mW], or Convert milliwatt to calorie (th)/second.
1 cal(th)/s = 4184000 mW. To convert calorie (th)/second to milliwatt, multiply the value by 4184000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mW = 2.39005736138e-07 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 = 4184000 mW
- 1 mW = 2.39005736138e-07 cal(th)/s
- 10 cal(th)/s = 41840000 mW
- 100 cal(th)/s = 418400000 mW
How to Convert Calorie (Th)/second to Milliwatt
1 cal(th)/s = 4184000 mW
Example: convert 15 cal(th)/s to mW:
15 cal(th)/s = 15 × 4184000 mW = 62760000 mW

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 It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
Milliwatt
A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The milliwatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a convenient unit for measuring low power levels, especially in electronics and telecommunications, with its usage expanding alongside the adoption of the watt as the standard power unit.
Current Use
Milliwatts are commonly used today in electronics, audio equipment, and wireless communication devices to specify power levels, such as in battery-powered devices, LED brightness, and signal transmission power.
