Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to decijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s] to decijoule/second [dJ/s], or Convert decijoule/second to kilocalorie (th)/second.
1 kcal(th)/s = 41840 dJ/s. To convert kilocalorie (th)/second to decijoule/second, multiply the value by 41840; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dJ/s = 2.39005736138e-05 kcal(th)/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(th)/s = 41840 dJ/s
- 1 dJ/s = 2.39005736138e-05 kcal(th)/s
- 10 kcal(th)/s = 418400 dJ/s

Kilocalorie (Th)/second
A kilocalorie (th)/second (kcal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories per second is transferred or converted.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (th) is a traditional unit of energy used primarily in nutrition and thermodynamics, with 'th' indicating the thermochemical definition. Its use in power measurements, such as kcal(th)/s, is less common and primarily for specialized scientific contexts.
Current Use
The unit kcal(th)/s is rarely used in modern practice; power is more commonly expressed in watts. When used, it typically appears in scientific research involving energy transfer rates in thermochemical processes or specialized engineering applications.
Decijoule/second
A decijoule per second (dJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one-tenth of a joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The decijoule is a decimal submultiple of the joule, introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate measurements at smaller scales. Its usage in power calculations, such as decijoules per second, has been consistent with the adoption of SI units, though it is less common in modern practice.
Current Use
Decijoule per second is rarely used in contemporary contexts; power is more commonly expressed in watts (joules per second). When used, it typically appears in specialized scientific or engineering applications requiring fine-grained energy rate measurements at the deci level.
