Convert calorie (th)/second to watt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s] to watt [W], or Convert watt to calorie (th)/second.
1 cal(th)/s = 4184 W. To convert calorie (th)/second to watt, multiply the value by 4184; to go the other way, divide by it (1 W = 0.000239005736138 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 = 4184 W
- 1 W = 0.000239005736138 cal(th)/s
- 10 cal(th)/s = 41840 W
- 100 cal(th)/s = 418400 W
How to Convert Calorie (Th)/second to Watt
1 cal(th)/s = 4184 W
Example: convert 15 cal(th)/s to W:
15 cal(th)/s = 15 × 4184 W = 62760 W

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 It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
Watt
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, defined as one joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The watt was named after James Watt, the Scottish engineer and inventor, in 1889. It was adopted as the SI unit of power to standardize measurements in science and engineering.
Current Use
The watt is widely used today to quantify power in electrical devices, engines, and energy consumption, serving as a fundamental unit in physics, engineering, and everyday applications.
