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

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.
Terawatt
A terawatt (TW) is a unit of power equal to one trillion watts (10^12 watts).
History/Origin
The term 'terawatt' was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify extremely large power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production, gaining prominence in the 20th century with advancements in large-scale energy and power measurement.
Current Use
Terawatts are used to describe the total power output of large-scale energy sources, such as the total global power consumption, solar radiation received by Earth, and astrophysical phenomena.
