Convert gigajoule/second to calorie (th)/second
Please provide values below to convert gigajoule/second [GJ/s] to calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s], or Convert calorie (th)/second to gigajoule/second.
1 GJ/s = 239005.736138 cal(th)/s. To convert gigajoule/second to calorie (th)/second, multiply the value by 239005.736138; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cal(th)/s = 4.184e-06 GJ/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Gigajoule/second
A gigajoule per second (GJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one gigajoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The gigajoule per second emerged as a larger-scale unit of power measurement, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify high power levels, especially in energy production and consumption. It is derived from the SI unit joule and the prefix giga, combined with the second as the time unit.
Current Use
GJ/s is used in fields such as energy industry, power generation, and large-scale energy transfer analysis to express high power rates, often in the context of power plants, energy infrastructure, and large energy projects.
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 It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
