Convert calorie (th)/second to kilocalorie (th)/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s] to kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s], or Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to calorie (th)/second.
How to Convert Calorie (Th)/second to Kilocalorie (Th)/second
1 cal(th)/s = 1 kcal(th)/s
Example: convert 15 cal(th)/s to kcal(th)/s:
15 cal(th)/s = 15 × 1 kcal(th)/s = 15 kcal(th)/s

Calorie (Th)/second
Calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which thermal calories are transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie (th), or thermochemical calorie, was historically used to quantify energy in thermodynamics and nutrition. Its use in power measurement, such as cal(th)/s, emerged in scientific contexts to express thermal energy transfer rates before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/s is rarely used in scientific practice, having been largely replaced by watts (W). It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
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.
