Convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to kilocalorie (th)/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute [kcal/min] to kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s], or Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to kilocalorie (IT)/minute.
1 kcal/min = 0.0166778202677 kcal(th)/s. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to kilocalorie (th)/second, multiply the value by 0.0166778202677; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kcal(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.
Kilocalorie (Th)/second
A kilocalorie (th)/second (kcal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories per second is transferred or converted.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (th) is a traditional unit of energy used primarily in nutrition and thermodynamics, with 'th' indicating the thermochemical definition. Its use in power measurements, such as kcal(th)/s, is less common and primarily for specialized scientific contexts.
Current Use
The unit kcal(th)/s is rarely used in modern practice; power is more commonly expressed in watts. When used, it typically appears in scientific research involving energy transfer rates in thermochemical processes or specialized engineering applications.
