Convert erg/second to kilocalorie (th)/minute
Please provide values below to convert erg/second [erg/s] to kilocalorie (th)/minute [kcal(th)/min], or Convert kilocalorie (th)/minute to erg/second.
1 erg/s = 1.43403441751e-09 kcal(th)/min. To convert erg/second to kilocalorie (th)/minute, multiply the value by 1.43403441751e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kcal(th)/min = 697333333 erg/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Erg/second
The erg/second (erg/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one erg per second equals the transfer of one erg of energy per second.
History/Origin
The erg is an older CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of energy, introduced in the early 20th century for scientific calculations. The erg/second was used in physics to quantify power in contexts where the CGS system was prevalent, especially in astrophysics and theoretical physics.
Current Use
Today, the erg/second is rarely used outside specialized scientific fields; the SI unit watt (W) is preferred for measuring power. However, erg/s may still be encountered in historical data, astrophysics, or when working with CGS-based calculations.
Kilocalorie (Th)/minute
Kilocalorie (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the energy in kilocalories (thermochemical) transferred or consumed per minute.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (th) is a traditional unit used to measure energy, especially in nutrition and thermodynamics, with its use dating back to early calorimetry. The per-minute notation indicates a rate of energy transfer over time.
Current Use
This unit is primarily used in scientific contexts involving thermal energy transfer rates, such as in calorimetry, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications where energy flow is measured in kilocalories per minute.
