Convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to watt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/second [kcal/s] to watt [W], or Convert watt to kilocalorie (IT)/second.
1 kcal/s = 4186.8 W. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to watt, multiply the value by 4186.8; to go the other way, divide by it (1 W = 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 W
- 1 W = 0.000238845896627 kcal/s
- 10 kcal/s = 41868 W
- 100 kcal/s = 418680 W
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/second to Watt
1 kcal/s = 4186.8 W
Example: convert 15 kcal/s to W:
15 kcal/s = 15 × 4186.8 W = 62802 W

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.
Watt
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, defined as one joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The watt was named after James Watt, the Scottish engineer and inventor, in 1889. It was adopted as the SI unit of power to standardize measurements in science and engineering.
Current Use
The watt is widely used today to quantify power in electrical devices, engines, and energy consumption, serving as a fundamental unit in physics, engineering, and everyday applications.
