Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to joule/second

Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s] to joule/second [J/s], or Convert joule/second to kilocalorie (th)/second.

1 kcal(th)/s = 4184 J/s. To convert kilocalorie (th)/second to joule/second, multiply the value by 4184; to go the other way, divide by it (1 J/s = 0.000239005736138 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 = 4184 J/s
  • 1 J/s = 0.000239005736138 kcal(th)/s
  • 10 kcal(th)/s = 41840 J/s
  • 100 kcal(th)/s = 418400 J/s



How to Convert Kilocalorie (Th)/second to Joule/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.


Joule/second

The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.

History/Origin

The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.

Current Use

J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
