Convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to decijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour [kcal/h] to decijoule/second [dJ/s], or Convert decijoule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/hour.
1 kcal/h = 11.63 dJ/s. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to decijoule/second, multiply the value by 11.63; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dJ/s = 0.0859845227859 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 = 11.63 dJ/s
- 1 dJ/s = 0.0859845227859 kcal/h
- 10 kcal/h = 116.3 dJ/s
- 100 kcal/h = 1163 dJ/s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/hour to Decijoule/second
1 kcal/h = 11.63 dJ/s
Example: convert 15 kcal/h to dJ/s:
15 kcal/h = 15 × 11.63 dJ/s = 174.45 dJ/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.
Decijoule/second
A decijoule per second (dJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one-tenth of a joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The decijoule is a decimal submultiple of the joule, introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate measurements at smaller scales. Its usage in power calculations, such as decijoules per second, has been consistent with the adoption of SI units, though it is less common in modern practice.
Current Use
Decijoule per second is rarely used in contemporary contexts; power is more commonly expressed in watts (joules per second). When used, it typically appears in specialized scientific or engineering applications requiring fine-grained energy rate measurements at the deci level.
