Convert calorie (th)/second to terajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s] to terajoule/second [TJ/s], or Convert terajoule/second to calorie (th)/second.
1 cal(th)/s = 4.184e-09 TJ/s. To convert calorie (th)/second to terajoule/second, multiply the value by 4.184e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TJ/s = 239005736.138 cal(th)/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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 It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
Terajoule/second
A terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillion joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The terajoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'tera' indicating a factor of 10^12. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very high power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production.
Current Use
TJ/s is used to quantify extremely high power outputs, such as in large-scale energy systems, astrophysical phenomena, and nuclear reactions, where conventional units like watts are insufficient to express the magnitude.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 calorie (th)/second in terajoule/second?
1 calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) = 4.184e-09 terajoule/second (TJ/s).
How do you convert calorie (th)/second to terajoule/second?
