Convert kilojoule/second to kilowatt
Please provide values below to convert kilojoule/second [kJ/s] to kilowatt [kW], or Convert kilowatt to kilojoule/second.
1 kJ/s = 1 kW. To convert kilojoule/second to kilowatt, multiply the value by 1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kW = 1 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 = 1 kW
- 1 kW = 1 kJ/s
- 10 kJ/s = 10 kW
- 100 kJ/s = 100 kW
How to Convert Kilojoule/second to Kilowatt
1 kJ/s = 1 kW
Example: convert 15 kJ/s to kW:
15 kJ/s = 15 × 1 kW = 15 kW

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.
Kilowatt
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption.
History/Origin
The kilowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a practical unit for measuring larger power outputs, especially in engineering and electrical contexts, and has been widely adopted since the 20th century.
Current Use
The kilowatt is commonly used today to specify the power output of engines, electrical appliances, and power generation facilities, as well as in billing for electricity consumption and capacity ratings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilojoule/second in kilowatt?
1 kilojoule/second (kJ/s) = 1 kilowatt (kW).
How do you convert kilojoule/second to kilowatt?
Multiply the kilojoule/second value by 1. For example, 25 kJ/s × 1 = 25 kW.
What is 10 kilojoule/second in kilowatt?
10 kJ/s = 10 kW.
Which unit is larger, the kilojoule/second or the kilowatt?
The kilowatt is the larger unit: 1 kJ/s equals only 1 kW.
