Convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to joule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/second [kcal/s] to joule/second [J/s], or Convert joule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/second.
1 kcal/s = 4186.8 J/s. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to joule/second, multiply the value by 4186.8; to go the other way, divide by it (1 J/s = 0.000238845896627 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 = 4186.8 J/s
- 1 J/s = 0.000238845896627 kcal/s
- 10 kcal/s = 41868 J/s
- 100 kcal/s = 418680 J/s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/second to Joule/second
1 kcal/s = 4186.8 J/s
Example: convert 15 kcal/s to J/s:
15 kcal/s = 15 × 4186.8 J/s = 62802 J/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.
Joule/second
The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.
History/Origin
The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.
Current Use
J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
