Convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to decijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute [kcal/min] to decijoule/second [dJ/s], or Convert decijoule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/minute.
1 kcal/min = 697.8 dJ/s. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to decijoule/second, multiply the value by 697.8; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dJ/s = 0.00143307537976 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 = 697.8 dJ/s
- 1 dJ/s = 0.00143307537976 kcal/min
- 10 kcal/min = 6978 dJ/s
- 100 kcal/min = 69780 dJ/s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/minute to Decijoule/second
1 kcal/min = 697.8 dJ/s
Example: convert 15 kcal/min to dJ/s:
15 kcal/min = 15 × 697.8 dJ/s = 10467 dJ/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.
Decijoule/second
A decijoule per second (dJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one-tenth of a joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The decijoule is a decimal submultiple of the joule, introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate measurements at smaller scales. Its usage in power calculations, such as decijoules per second, has been consistent with the adoption of SI units, though it is less common in modern practice.
Current Use
Decijoule per second is rarely used in contemporary contexts; power is more commonly expressed in watts (joules per second). When used, it typically appears in specialized scientific or engineering applications requiring fine-grained energy rate measurements at the deci level.
