Convert kilojoule/second to watt
Please provide values below to convert kilojoule/second [kJ/s] to watt [W], or Convert watt to kilojoule/second.
1 kJ/s = 1000 W. To convert kilojoule/second to watt, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 W = 0.001 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 = 1000 W
- 1 W = 0.001 kJ/s
- 10 kJ/s = 10000 W
- 100 kJ/s = 100000 W
How to Convert Kilojoule/second to Watt
1 kJ/s = 1000 W
Example: convert 15 kJ/s to W:
15 kJ/s = 15 × 1000 W = 15000 W

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.
Watt
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, defined as one joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The watt was named after James Watt, the Scottish engineer and inventor, in 1889. It was adopted as the SI unit of power to standardize measurements in science and engineering.
Current Use
The watt is widely used today to quantify power in electrical devices, engines, and energy consumption, serving as a fundamental unit in physics, engineering, and everyday applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
