Convert watt to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert watt [W] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to watt.
How to Convert Watt to Kilojoule/second
1 W = 0.001 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 W to kJ/s:
15 W = 15 × 0.001 kJ/s = 0.015 kJ/s

Watt
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, defined as one joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The watt was named after James Watt, the Scottish engineer and inventor, in 1889. It was adopted as the SI unit of power to standardize measurements in science and engineering.
Current Use
The watt is widely used today to quantify power in electrical devices, engines, and energy consumption, serving as a fundamental unit in physics, engineering, and everyday applications.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
