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

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)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilocalorie (IT)/second in calorie (IT)/second?
1 kilocalorie (IT)/second (kcal/s) = 1 calorie (IT)/second (cal/s).
How do you convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to calorie (IT)/second?
Multiply the kilocalorie (IT)/second value by 1. For example, 25 kcal/s × 1 = 25 cal/s.
What is 10 kilocalorie (IT)/second in calorie (IT)/second?
10 kcal/s = 10 cal/s.
Which unit is larger, the kilocalorie (IT)/second or the calorie (IT)/second?
The calorie (IT)/second is the larger unit: 1 kcal/s equals only 1 cal/s.
