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
1 kcal(th)/s = 4184 J/s
Example: convert 15 kcal(th)/s to J/s:
15 kcal(th)/s = 15 × 4184 J/s = 62760 J/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.
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.
