Convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to calorie (th)/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute [kcal/min] to calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s], or Convert calorie (th)/second to kilocalorie (IT)/minute.
1 kcal/min = 0.0166778202677 cal(th)/s. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to calorie (th)/second, multiply the value by 0.0166778202677; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cal(th)/s = 59.9598738894 kcal/min). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Kilocalorie (It)/minute
A unit of power representing the energy expended or transferred at a rate of one kilocalorie per minute.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (kcal) has historically been used to measure energy in food and nutrition, while the minute as a time unit has been standard in timekeeping. Combining these, kcal/min was used to quantify power, especially in contexts like metabolic rates and energy expenditure, before the widespread adoption of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
The kcal/min is primarily used in fields such as physiology and sports science to express rates of energy expenditure, though it is less common today with the adoption of the watt (W) as the standard SI unit of power.
Calorie (Th)/second
Calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which thermal calories are transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie (th), or thermochemical calorie, was historically used to quantify energy in thermodynamics and nutrition. Its use in power measurement, such as cal(th)/s, emerged in scientific contexts to express thermal energy transfer rates before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/s is rarely used in scientific practice, having been largely replaced by watts (W). It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
