Convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to terawatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour [kcal/h] to terawatt [TW], or Convert terawatt to kilocalorie (IT)/hour.
1 kcal/h = 1.1630e-12 TW. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to terawatt, multiply the value by 1.1630e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TW = 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 = 1.1630e-12 TW
- 1 TW = 859845227859 kcal/h
- 10 kcal/h = 1.1630e-11 TW
- 100 kcal/h = 1.1630e-10 TW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/hour to Terawatt
1 kcal/h = 1.163e-12 TW
Example: convert 15 kcal/h to TW:
15 kcal/h = 15 × 1.163e-12 TW = 1.7445e-11 TW

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.
Terawatt
A terawatt (TW) is a unit of power equal to one trillion watts (10^12 watts).
History/Origin
The term 'terawatt' was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify extremely large power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production, gaining prominence in the 20th century with advancements in large-scale energy and power measurement.
Current Use
Terawatts are used to describe the total power output of large-scale energy sources, such as the total global power consumption, solar radiation received by Earth, and astrophysical phenomena.
