Please provide values below to convert calorie (th)/minute [cal(th)/min] to femtowatt [fW], or Convert femtowatt to calorie (th)/minute.
How to Convert Calorie (Th)/minute to Femtowatt
1 cal(th)/min = 6.97333333e+16 fW
Example: convert 15 cal(th)/min to fW:
15 cal(th)/min = 15 × 6.97333333e+16 fW = 1.0459999995e+18 fW

Calorie (Th)/minute
A calorie (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the amount of heat energy in calories (thermochemical) transferred or used per minute.
History/Origin
The calorie (th)/minute has been used historically in thermodynamics and nutrition to quantify heat transfer rates, especially before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit of power.
Current Use
Today, the calorie (th)/minute is rarely used in scientific contexts, having been largely replaced by the watt; however, it may still appear in specialized fields or legacy data related to heat transfer and energy consumption.
Femtowatt
A femtowatt (fW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-15 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The femtowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very small quantities of power, particularly in scientific and technological contexts, gaining recognition as the need to quantify minute power levels grew.
Current Use
Femtowatts are used in fields such as quantum physics, nanotechnology, and optical measurements, where precise measurement of extremely low power levels is required.
