Convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to petawatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/second [kcal/s] to petawatt [PW], or Convert petawatt to kilocalorie (IT)/second.
1 kcal/s = 4.1868e-12 PW. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to petawatt, multiply the value by 4.1868e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PW = 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 = 4.1868e-12 PW
- 1 PW = 238845896627 kcal/s
- 10 kcal/s = 4.1868e-11 PW
- 100 kcal/s = 4.1868e-10 PW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/second to Petawatt
1 kcal/s = 4.1868e-12 PW
Example: convert 15 kcal/s to PW:
15 kcal/s = 15 × 4.1868e-12 PW = 6.2802e-11 PW

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.
Petawatt
A petawatt (PW) is a unit of power equal to 10^15 watts, used to measure extremely high power levels.
History/Origin
The petawatt was introduced in the 1980s as part of the SI prefixes to describe ultra-high power outputs, particularly in laser physics and astrophysics research.
Current Use
Petawatts are primarily used in scientific research involving high-intensity lasers, astrophysics, and nuclear physics to quantify extremely large power outputs.
