Convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to dekajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour [kcal/h] to dekajoule/second [daJ/s], or Convert dekajoule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/hour.
1 kcal/h = 0.1163 daJ/s. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to dekajoule/second, multiply the value by 0.1163; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daJ/s = 8.59845227859 kcal/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kcal/h = 0.1163 daJ/s
- 1 daJ/s = 8.59845227859 kcal/h
- 10 kcal/h = 1.163 daJ/s
- 100 kcal/h = 11.63 daJ/s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/hour to Dekajoule/second
1 kcal/h = 0.1163 daJ/s
Example: convert 15 kcal/h to daJ/s:
15 kcal/h = 15 × 0.1163 daJ/s = 1.7445 daJ/s

Kilocalorie (It)/hour
Kilocalorie per hour (kcal/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adopted as a unit of energy. Its use in power measurement, such as kcal/h, emerged in contexts like thermal and caloric power calculations, especially in fields related to heating and energy transfer.
Current Use
kcal/h is used in applications involving thermal power, such as heating systems, calorimetry, and energy transfer calculations where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
Dekajoule/second
Dekajoule per second (daJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one dekajoule equals ten joules per second.
History/Origin
The dekajoule is a non-SI unit introduced as a multiple of the joule, primarily used in older or specialized contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of the SI system, but it remains recognized for certain applications involving large energy quantities.
Current Use
Today, daJ/s is rarely used in scientific contexts, with the watt (W) being the standard SI unit for power. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial measurements where larger energy units are convenient.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilocalorie (IT)/hour in dekajoule/second?
1 kilocalorie (IT)/hour (kcal/h) = 0.1163 dekajoule/second (daJ/s).
How do you convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to dekajoule/second?
Multiply the kilocalorie (IT)/hour value by 0.1163. For example, 25 kcal/h × 0.1163 = 2.9075 daJ/s.
