Convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to decijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/second [kcal/s] to decijoule/second [dJ/s], or Convert decijoule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/second.
1 kcal/s = 41868 dJ/s. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to decijoule/second, multiply the value by 41868; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dJ/s = 2.38845896627e-05 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 = 41868 dJ/s
- 1 dJ/s = 2.38845896627e-05 kcal/s
- 10 kcal/s = 418680 dJ/s
- 100 kcal/s = 4186800 dJ/s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/second to Decijoule/second

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.
Decijoule/second
A decijoule per second (dJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one-tenth of a joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The decijoule is a decimal submultiple of the joule, introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate measurements at smaller scales. Its usage in power calculations, such as decijoules per second, has been consistent with the adoption of SI units, though it is less common in modern practice.
Current Use
Decijoule per second is rarely used in contemporary contexts; power is more commonly expressed in watts (joules per second). When used, it typically appears in specialized scientific or engineering applications requiring fine-grained energy rate measurements at the deci level.
