Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to erg/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s] to erg/second [erg/s], or Convert erg/second to kilocalorie (th)/second.
1 kcal(th)/s = 41840000000 erg/s. To convert kilocalorie (th)/second to erg/second, multiply the value by 41840000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg/s = 2.3901e-11 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 = 41840000000 erg/s
- 1 erg/s = 2.3901e-11 kcal(th)/s
- 10 kcal(th)/s = 418400000000 erg/s
- 100 kcal(th)/s = 4.1840e+12 erg/s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (Th)/second to Erg/second
1 kcal(th)/s = 41840000000 erg/s
Example: convert 15 kcal(th)/s to erg/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.
Erg/second
The erg/second (erg/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one erg per second equals the transfer of one erg of energy per second.
History/Origin
The erg is an older CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of energy, introduced in the early 20th century for scientific calculations. The erg/second was used in physics to quantify power in contexts where the CGS system was prevalent, especially in astrophysics and theoretical physics.
Current Use
Today, the erg/second is rarely used outside specialized scientific fields; the SI unit watt (W) is preferred for measuring power. However, erg/s may still be encountered in historical data, astrophysics, or when working with CGS-based calculations.
