Convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to dekajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute [kcal/min] to dekajoule/second [daJ/s], or Convert dekajoule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/minute.
1 kcal/min = 6.978 daJ/s. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to dekajoule/second, multiply the value by 6.978; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daJ/s = 0.143307537976 kcal/min). 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/min = 6.978 daJ/s
- 1 daJ/s = 0.143307537976 kcal/min
- 10 kcal/min = 69.78 daJ/s
- 100 kcal/min = 697.8 daJ/s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/minute to Dekajoule/second
1 kcal/min = 6.978 daJ/s
Example: convert 15 kcal/min to daJ/s:
15 kcal/min = 15 × 6.978 daJ/s = 104.67 daJ/s

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.
Dekajoule/second
Dekajoule per second (daJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one dekajoule equals ten joules per second.
History/Origin
The dekajoule is a non-SI unit introduced as a multiple of the joule, primarily used in older or specialized contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of the SI system, but it remains recognized for certain applications involving large energy quantities.
Current Use
Today, daJ/s is rarely used in scientific contexts, with the watt (W) being the standard SI unit for power. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial measurements where larger energy units are convenient.
