Convert centiwatt to calorie (th)/second
Please provide values below to convert centiwatt [cW] to calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s], or Convert calorie (th)/second to centiwatt.
1 cW = 2.39005736138e-06 cal(th)/s. To convert centiwatt to calorie (th)/second, multiply the value by 2.39005736138e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cal(th)/s = 418400 cW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
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 It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 centiwatt in calorie (th)/second?
1 centiwatt (cW) = 2.39005736138e-06 calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s).
How do you convert centiwatt to calorie (th)/second?
