Convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to calorie (IT)/hour
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/second [kcal/s] to calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h], or Convert calorie (IT)/hour to kilocalorie (IT)/second.
1 kcal/s = 3600 cal/h. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to calorie (IT)/hour, multiply the value by 3600; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cal/h = 0.000277777777778 kcal/s). 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/s = 3600 cal/h
- 1 cal/h = 0.000277777777778 kcal/s
- 10 kcal/s = 36000 cal/h
- 100 kcal/s = 360000 cal/h
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/second to Calorie (It)/hour
1 kcal/s = 3600 cal/h
Example: convert 15 kcal/s to cal/h:
15 kcal/s = 15 × 3600 cal/h = 54000 cal/h

Kilocalorie (It)/second
A kilocalorie per second (kcal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and thermodynamics, has been a standard unit of energy measurement. Its use in power calculations, such as kcal/s, emerged in contexts requiring energy transfer rates, though it is less common than SI units like watts.
Current Use
Kcal/s is primarily used in specialized fields like thermodynamics and calorimetry to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in contexts involving heat transfer and energy consumption, though it is less prevalent than SI units.
Calorie (It)/hour
Calorie per hour (cal/h) is a unit of power that measures the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or consumed over time.
History/Origin
The calorie has been used historically in nutrition and thermodynamics to quantify energy. The cal/h unit emerged in contexts where energy transfer rates were expressed in calories per hour, particularly in heating and metabolic studies.
Current Use
Cal/h is used in specific scientific and engineering applications, such as measuring heat transfer rates, metabolic rates, and in some thermal engineering contexts, although it is less common than SI units like watts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilocalorie (IT)/second in calorie (IT)/hour?
1 kilocalorie (IT)/second (kcal/s) = 3600 calorie (IT)/hour (cal/h).
How do you convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to calorie (IT)/hour?
Multiply the kilocalorie (IT)/second value by 3600. For example, 25 kcal/s × 3600 = 90000 cal/h.
