Convert picowatt to kilocalorie (th)/second
Please provide values below to convert picowatt [pW] to kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s], or Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to picowatt.
1 pW = 2.3901e-16 kcal(th)/s. To convert picowatt to kilocalorie (th)/second, multiply the value by 2.3901e-16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kcal(th)/s = 4.1840e+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 = 2.3901e-16 kcal(th)/s
- 1 kcal(th)/s = 4.1840e+15 pW
- 10 pW = 2.3901e-15 kcal(th)/s
- 100 pW = 2.3901e-14 kcal(th)/s
How to Convert Picowatt to Kilocalorie (Th)/second
1 pW = 2.39005736137667e-16 kcal(th)/s
Example: convert 15 pW to kcal(th)/s:
15 pW = 15 × 2.39005736137667e-16 kcal(th)/s = 3.58508604206501e-15 kcal(th)/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 (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
What is 1 picowatt in kilocalorie (th)/second?
1 picowatt (pW) = 2.3901e-16 kilocalorie (th)/second (kcal(th)/s).
How do you convert picowatt to kilocalorie (th)/second?
