Convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to joule/second

Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour [kcal/h] to joule/second [J/s], or Convert joule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/hour.

1 kcal/h = 1.163 J/s. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to joule/second, multiply the value by 1.163; to go the other way, divide by it (1 J/s = 0.859845227859 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 = 1.163 J/s
  • 1 J/s = 0.859845227859 kcal/h
  • 10 kcal/h = 11.63 J/s
  • 100 kcal/h = 116.3 J/s



How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/hour to Joule/second

1 kcal/h = 1.163 J/s

Example: convert 15 kcal/h to J/s:
15 kcal/h = 15 × 1.163 J/s = 17.445 J/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.


Joule/second

The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.

History/Origin

The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.

Current Use

J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
