Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to milliwatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s] to milliwatt [mW], or Convert milliwatt to kilocalorie (th)/second.
1 kcal(th)/s = 4184000 mW. To convert kilocalorie (th)/second to milliwatt, multiply the value by 4184000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mW = 2.39005736138e-07 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 = 4184000 mW
- 1 mW = 2.39005736138e-07 kcal(th)/s
- 10 kcal(th)/s = 41840000 mW
- 100 kcal(th)/s = 418400000 mW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (Th)/second to Milliwatt
1 kcal(th)/s = 4184000 mW
Example: convert 15 kcal(th)/s to mW:
15 kcal(th)/s = 15 × 4184000 mW = 62760000 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.
Milliwatt
A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The milliwatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a convenient unit for measuring low power levels, especially in electronics and telecommunications, with its usage expanding alongside the adoption of the watt as the standard power unit.
Current Use
Milliwatts are commonly used today in electronics, audio equipment, and wireless communication devices to specify power levels, such as in battery-powered devices, LED brightness, and signal transmission power.
