Convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to megajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute [kcal/min] to megajoule/second [MJ/s], or Convert megajoule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/minute.
1 kcal/min = 6.978e-05 MJ/s. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to megajoule/second, multiply the value by 6.978e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MJ/s = 14330.7537976 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 = 6.978e-05 MJ/s
- 1 MJ/s = 14330.7537976 kcal/min
- 10 kcal/min = 0.0006978 MJ/s
- 100 kcal/min = 0.006978 MJ/s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/minute to Megajoule/second
1 kcal/min = 6.978e-05 MJ/s
Example: convert 15 kcal/min to MJ/s:
15 kcal/min = 15 × 6.978e-05 MJ/s = 0.0010467 MJ/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.
Megajoule/second
A megajoule per second (MJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one megajoule of energy transferred or converted per second, where 1 megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify large-scale power, especially in fields like physics and energy systems, as a convenient unit for expressing high power levels. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second).
Current Use
Today, MJ/s is primarily used in scientific research, energy production, and engineering to describe high power outputs, such as in power plants, large-scale energy systems, and theoretical calculations involving energy transfer rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilocalorie (IT)/minute in megajoule/second?
1 kilocalorie (IT)/minute (kcal/min) = 6.978e-05 megajoule/second (MJ/s).
How do you convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to megajoule/second?
