Convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to dekajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/second [kcal/s] to dekajoule/second [daJ/s], or Convert dekajoule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/second.
1 kcal/s = 418.68 daJ/s. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to dekajoule/second, multiply the value by 418.68; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daJ/s = 0.00238845896627 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 = 418.68 daJ/s
- 1 daJ/s = 0.00238845896627 kcal/s
- 10 kcal/s = 4186.8 daJ/s
- 100 kcal/s = 41868 daJ/s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/second to Dekajoule/second
1 kcal/s = 418.68 daJ/s
Example: convert 15 kcal/s to daJ/s:
15 kcal/s = 15 × 418.68 daJ/s = 6280.2 daJ/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.
Dekajoule/second
Dekajoule per second (daJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one dekajoule equals ten joules per second.
History/Origin
The dekajoule is a non-SI unit introduced as a multiple of the joule, primarily used in older or specialized contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of the SI system, but it remains recognized for certain applications involving large energy quantities.
Current Use
Today, daJ/s is rarely used in scientific contexts, with the watt (W) being the standard SI unit for power. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial measurements where larger energy units are convenient.
