Convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to hectojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/second [kcal/s] to hectojoule/second [hJ/s], or Convert hectojoule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/second.
1 kcal/s = 41.868 hJ/s. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to hectojoule/second, multiply the value by 41.868; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hJ/s = 0.0238845896627 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 = 41.868 hJ/s
- 1 hJ/s = 0.0238845896627 kcal/s
- 10 kcal/s = 418.68 hJ/s
- 100 kcal/s = 4186.8 hJ/s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/second to Hectojoule/second
1 kcal/s = 41.868 hJ/s
Example: convert 15 kcal/s to hJ/s:
15 kcal/s = 15 × 41.868 hJ/s = 628.02 hJ/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.
Hectojoule/second
Hectojoule per second (hJ/s) is a unit of power representing one hundred joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The unit hJ/s is derived from the SI unit joule (J) and the metric prefix hecto- (h), used to express larger quantities of energy transfer rate, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts. It has been used as an alternative to watts in certain fields, though watts are more standard.
Current Use
Hectojoule per second is occasionally used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify power, especially in contexts where larger energy transfer rates are involved. However, the watt (W) remains the standard SI unit for power, and hJ/s is less common in everyday use.
