Convert calorie (th)/second to petawatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s] to petawatt [PW], or Convert petawatt to calorie (th)/second.
1 cal(th)/s = 4.1840e-12 PW. To convert calorie (th)/second to petawatt, multiply the value by 4.1840e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PW = 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 = 4.1840e-12 PW
- 1 PW = 239005736138 cal(th)/s
- 10 cal(th)/s = 4.1840e-11 PW
- 100 cal(th)/s = 4.1840e-10 PW
How to Convert Calorie (Th)/second to Petawatt
1 cal(th)/s = 4.184e-12 PW
Example: convert 15 cal(th)/s to PW:
15 cal(th)/s = 15 × 4.184e-12 PW = 6.276e-11 PW

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 It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
Petawatt
A petawatt (PW) is a unit of power equal to 10^15 watts, used to measure extremely high power levels.
History/Origin
The petawatt was introduced in the 1980s as part of the SI prefixes to describe ultra-high power outputs, particularly in laser physics and astrophysics research.
Current Use
Petawatts are primarily used in scientific research involving high-intensity lasers, astrophysics, and nuclear physics to quantify extremely large power outputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
