Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to hectojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s] to hectojoule/second [hJ/s], or Convert hectojoule/second to kilocalorie (th)/second.
1 kcal(th)/s = 41.84 hJ/s. To convert kilocalorie (th)/second to hectojoule/second, multiply the value by 41.84; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hJ/s = 0.0239005736138 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 = 41.84 hJ/s
- 1 hJ/s = 0.0239005736138 kcal(th)/s
- 10 kcal(th)/s = 418.4 hJ/s
- 100 kcal(th)/s = 4184 hJ/s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (Th)/second to Hectojoule/second

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.
Hectojoule/second
Hectojoule per second (hJ/s) is a unit of power representing one hundred joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The unit hJ/s is derived from the SI unit joule (J) and the metric prefix hecto- (h), used to express larger quantities of energy transfer rate, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts. It has been used as an alternative to watts in certain fields, though watts are more standard.
Current Use
Hectojoule per second is occasionally used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify power, especially in contexts where larger energy transfer rates are involved. However, the watt (W) remains the standard SI unit for power, and hJ/s is less common in everyday use.
