Convert kilojoule/second to gigajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilojoule/second [kJ/s] to gigajoule/second [GJ/s], or Convert gigajoule/second to kilojoule/second.
1 kJ/s = 1e-06 GJ/s. To convert kilojoule/second to gigajoule/second, multiply the value by 1e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GJ/s = 1000000 kJ/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 kJ/s = 1e-06 GJ/s
- 1 GJ/s = 1000000 kJ/s
- 10 kJ/s = 1e-05 GJ/s
- 100 kJ/s = 0.0001 GJ/s
How to Convert Kilojoule/second to Gigajoule/second
1 kJ/s = 1e-06 GJ/s
Example: convert 15 kJ/s to GJ/s:
15 kJ/s = 15 × 1e-06 GJ/s = 1.5e-05 GJ/s

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.
Gigajoule/second
A gigajoule per second (GJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one gigajoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The gigajoule per second emerged as a larger-scale unit of power measurement, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify high power levels, especially in energy production and consumption. It is derived from the SI unit joule and the prefix giga, combined with the second as the time unit.
Current Use
GJ/s is used in fields such as energy industry, power generation, and large-scale energy transfer analysis to express high power rates, often in the context of power plants, energy infrastructure, and large energy projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilojoule/second in gigajoule/second?
1 kilojoule/second (kJ/s) = 1e-06 gigajoule/second (GJ/s).
How do you convert kilojoule/second to gigajoule/second?
Multiply the kilojoule/second value by 1e-06. For example, 25 kJ/s × 1e-06 = 2.5e-05 GJ/s.
What is 10 kilojoule/second in gigajoule/second?
10 kJ/s = 1e-05 GJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the kilojoule/second or the gigajoule/second?
The gigajoule/second is the larger unit: 1 kJ/s equals only 1e-06 GJ/s.
