Convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to kilowatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/second [kcal/s] to kilowatt [kW], or Convert kilowatt to kilocalorie (IT)/second.
1 kcal/s = 4.1868 kW. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to kilowatt, multiply the value by 4.1868; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kW = 0.238845896627 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 = 4.1868 kW
- 1 kW = 0.238845896627 kcal/s
- 10 kcal/s = 41.868 kW
- 100 kcal/s = 418.68 kW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/second to Kilowatt
1 kcal/s = 4.1868 kW
Example: convert 15 kcal/s to kW:
15 kcal/s = 15 × 4.1868 kW = 62.802 kW

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.
Kilowatt
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption.
History/Origin
The kilowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a practical unit for measuring larger power outputs, especially in engineering and electrical contexts, and has been widely adopted since the 20th century.
Current Use
The kilowatt is commonly used today to specify the power output of engines, electrical appliances, and power generation facilities, as well as in billing for electricity consumption and capacity ratings.
