Convert milliwatt to kilocalorie (th)/second
Please provide values below to convert milliwatt [mW] to kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s], or Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to milliwatt.
1 mW = 2.39005736138e-07 kcal(th)/s. To convert milliwatt to kilocalorie (th)/second, multiply the value by 2.39005736138e-07; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kcal(th)/s = 4184000 mW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Milliwatt
A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The milliwatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a convenient unit for measuring low power levels, especially in electronics and telecommunications, with its usage expanding alongside the adoption of the watt as the standard power unit.
Current Use
Milliwatts are commonly used today in electronics, audio equipment, and wireless communication devices to specify power levels, such as in battery-powered devices, LED brightness, and signal transmission power.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
