Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to megawatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s] to megawatt [MW], or Convert megawatt to kilocalorie (th)/second.
1 kcal(th)/s = 0.004184 MW. To convert kilocalorie (th)/second to megawatt, multiply the value by 0.004184; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MW = 239.005736138 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 = 0.004184 MW
- 1 MW = 239.005736138 kcal(th)/s
- 10 kcal(th)/s = 0.04184 MW
- 100 kcal(th)/s = 0.4184 MW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (Th)/second to Megawatt
1 kcal(th)/s = 0.004184 MW
Example: convert 15 kcal(th)/s to MW:
15 kcal(th)/s = 15 × 0.004184 MW = 0.06276 MW

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.
Megawatt
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts, used to measure the output of power plants and the capacity of electrical systems.
History/Origin
The megawatt was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify large-scale power, becoming widely adopted in the 20th century with the expansion of electrical power generation and distribution.
Current Use
Megawatts are commonly used today to specify the capacity of power plants, electrical grids, and large-scale energy projects, facilitating standardized measurement of high power levels in various industries.
