Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to petawatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s] to petawatt [PW], or Convert petawatt to kilocalorie (th)/second.
1 kcal(th)/s = 4.1840e-12 PW. To convert kilocalorie (th)/second to petawatt, multiply the value by 4.1840e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PW = 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 = 4.1840e-12 PW
- 1 PW = 239005736138 kcal(th)/s
- 10 kcal(th)/s = 4.1840e-11 PW
- 100 kcal(th)/s = 4.1840e-10 PW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (Th)/second to Petawatt
1 kcal(th)/s = 4.184e-12 PW
Example: convert 15 kcal(th)/s to PW:
15 kcal(th)/s = 15 × 4.184e-12 PW = 6.276e-11 PW

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.
Petawatt
A petawatt (PW) is a unit of power equal to 10^15 watts, used to measure extremely high power levels.
History/Origin
The petawatt was introduced in the 1980s as part of the SI prefixes to describe ultra-high power outputs, particularly in laser physics and astrophysics research.
Current Use
Petawatts are primarily used in scientific research involving high-intensity lasers, astrophysics, and nuclear physics to quantify extremely large power outputs.
