Convert kilocalorie (th)/hour to terajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th)/hour [kcal(th)/h] to terajoule/second [TJ/s], or Convert terajoule/second to kilocalorie (th)/hour.
1 kcal(th)/h = 1.1622e-12 TJ/s. To convert kilocalorie (th)/hour to terajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.1622e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TJ/s = 860420651741 kcal(th)/h). 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(th)/h = 1.1622e-12 TJ/s
- 1 TJ/s = 860420651741 kcal(th)/h
- 10 kcal(th)/h = 1.1622e-11 TJ/s
- 100 kcal(th)/h = 1.1622e-10 TJ/s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (Th)/hour to Terajoule/second
1 kcal(th)/h = 1.16222222e-12 TJ/s
Example: convert 15 kcal(th)/h to TJ/s:
15 kcal(th)/h = 15 × 1.16222222e-12 TJ/s = 1.74333333e-11 TJ/s

Kilocalorie (Th)/hour
A kilocalorie (th)/hour (kcal(th)/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories per hour is transferred or converted.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adapted into various units including the thermochemical kilocalorie (kcal(th)). Its use in power measurement, such as kcal(th)/h, is primarily for specialized scientific and engineering applications, integrating energy units with time to express power.
Current Use
The kcal(th)/h unit is used in contexts requiring the measurement of energy transfer rates in thermochemical terms, such as in thermal engineering, calorimetry, and energy efficiency assessments where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
Terajoule/second
A terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillion joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The terajoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'tera' indicating a factor of 10^12. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very high power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production.
Current Use
TJ/s is used to quantify extremely high power outputs, such as in large-scale energy systems, astrophysical phenomena, and nuclear reactions, where conventional units like watts are insufficient to express the magnitude.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilocalorie (th)/hour in terajoule/second?
1 kilocalorie (th)/hour (kcal(th)/h) = 1.1622e-12 terajoule/second (TJ/s).
How do you convert kilocalorie (th)/hour to terajoule/second?
Multiply the kilocalorie (th)/hour value by 1.1622e-12. For example, 25 kcal(th)/h × 1.1622e-12 = 2.9056e-11 TJ/s.
