Convert picowatt to kilocalorie (IT)/second
Please provide values below to convert picowatt [pW] to kilocalorie (IT)/second [kcal/s], or Convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to picowatt.
1 pW = 2.3885e-16 kcal/s. To convert picowatt to kilocalorie (IT)/second, multiply the value by 2.3885e-16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kcal/s = 4.1868e+15 pW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 pW = 2.3885e-16 kcal/s
- 1 kcal/s = 4.1868e+15 pW
- 10 pW = 2.3885e-15 kcal/s
- 100 pW = 2.3885e-14 kcal/s
How to Convert Picowatt to Kilocalorie (It)/second
1 pW = 2.38845896627496e-16 kcal/s
Example: convert 15 pW to kcal/s:
15 pW = 15 × 2.38845896627496e-16 kcal/s = 3.58268844941244e-15 kcal/s

Picowatt
A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a watt.
History/Origin
The picowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, following the standardization of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
Picowatts are used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify very low power levels, including in sensor measurements, quantum physics, and nanotechnology applications.
Kilocalorie (It)/second
A kilocalorie per second (kcal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and thermodynamics, has been a standard unit of energy measurement. Its use in power calculations, such as kcal/s, emerged in contexts requiring energy transfer rates, though it is less common than SI units like watts.
Current Use
Kcal/s is primarily used in specialized fields like thermodynamics and calorimetry to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in contexts involving heat transfer and energy consumption, though it is less prevalent than SI units.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 picowatt in kilocalorie (IT)/second?
1 picowatt (pW) = 2.3885e-16 kilocalorie (IT)/second (kcal/s).
How do you convert picowatt to kilocalorie (IT)/second?
