Convert petawatt to kilojoule/hour
Please provide values below to convert petawatt [PW] to kilojoule/hour [kJ/h], or Convert kilojoule/hour to petawatt.
1 PW = 3.6000e+15 kJ/h. To convert petawatt to kilojoule/hour, multiply the value by 3.6000e+15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kJ/h = 2.7778e-16 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 = 3.6000e+15 kJ/h
- 1 kJ/h = 2.7778e-16 PW
- 10 PW = 3.6000e+16 kJ/h
- 100 PW = 3.6000e+17 kJ/h
How to Convert Petawatt to Kilojoule/hour
1 PW = 3.59999999712e+15 kJ/h
Example: convert 15 PW to kJ/h:
15 PW = 15 × 3.59999999712e+15 kJ/h = 5.39999999568e+16 kJ/h

Petawatt
A petawatt (PW) is a unit of power equal to 10^15 watts, used to measure extremely high power levels.
History/Origin
The petawatt was introduced in the 1980s as part of the SI prefixes to describe ultra-high power outputs, particularly in laser physics and astrophysics research.
Current Use
Petawatts are primarily used in scientific research involving high-intensity lasers, astrophysics, and nuclear physics to quantify extremely large power outputs.
Kilojoule/hour
A kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in kilojoules transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per hour has been used as a measure of power in contexts where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, particularly in engineering and scientific applications, though it is less common than standard SI units like watts.
Current Use
kJ/h is used in specific fields such as thermodynamics and energy management to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in systems where energy is measured in kilojoules and the rate is expressed per hour, though it is often converted to watts for standardization.
