Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to terajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s] to terajoule/second [TJ/s], or Convert terajoule/second to kilocalorie (th)/second.
1 kcal(th)/s = 4.184e-09 TJ/s. To convert kilocalorie (th)/second to terajoule/second, multiply the value by 4.184e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TJ/s = 239005736.138 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 = 4.184e-09 TJ/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.
Terajoule/second
A terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillion joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The terajoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'tera' indicating a factor of 10^12. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very high power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production.
Current Use
TJ/s is used to quantify extremely high power outputs, such as in large-scale energy systems, astrophysical phenomena, and nuclear reactions, where conventional units like watts are insufficient to express the magnitude.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilocalorie (th)/second in terajoule/second?
1 kilocalorie (th)/second (kcal(th)/s) = 4.184e-09 terajoule/second (TJ/s).
How do you convert kilocalorie (th)/second to terajoule/second?
