Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to kilocalorie (th)/second.
1 kcal(th)/s = 4.184 kJ/s. To convert kilocalorie (th)/second to kilojoule/second, multiply the value by 4.184; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kJ/s = 0.239005736138 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 = 4.184 kJ/s
- 1 kJ/s = 0.239005736138 kcal(th)/s
- 10 kcal(th)/s = 41.84 kJ/s
- 100 kcal(th)/s = 418.4 kJ/s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (Th)/second to Kilojoule/second
1 kcal(th)/s = 4.184 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 kcal(th)/s to kJ/s:
15 kcal(th)/s = 15 × 4.184 kJ/s = 62.76 kJ/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.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
