Convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to megajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour [kcal/h] to megajoule/second [MJ/s], or Convert megajoule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/hour.
1 kcal/h = 1.163e-06 MJ/s. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to megajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.163e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MJ/s = 859845.227859 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 = 1.163e-06 MJ/s
- 1 MJ/s = 859845.227859 kcal/h
- 10 kcal/h = 1.163e-05 MJ/s
- 100 kcal/h = 0.0001163 MJ/s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/hour to Megajoule/second
1 kcal/h = 1.163e-06 MJ/s
Example: convert 15 kcal/h to MJ/s:
15 kcal/h = 15 × 1.163e-06 MJ/s = 1.7445e-05 MJ/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.
Megajoule/second
A megajoule per second (MJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one megajoule of energy transferred or converted per second, where 1 megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify large-scale power, especially in fields like physics and energy systems, as a convenient unit for expressing high power levels. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second).
Current Use
Today, MJ/s is primarily used in scientific research, energy production, and engineering to describe high power outputs, such as in power plants, large-scale energy systems, and theoretical calculations involving energy transfer rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilocalorie (IT)/hour in megajoule/second?
1 kilocalorie (IT)/hour (kcal/h) = 1.163e-06 megajoule/second (MJ/s).
How do you convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to megajoule/second?
