Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to exajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s] to exajoule/second [EJ/s], or Convert exajoule/second to kilocalorie (th)/second.
How to Convert Kilocalorie (Th)/second to Exajoule/second
1 kcal(th)/s = 4.184e-15 EJ/s
Example: convert 15 kcal(th)/s to EJ/s:
15 kcal(th)/s = 15 × 4.184e-15 EJ/s = 6.276e-14 EJ/s

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.
Exajoule/second
An exajoule per second (EJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one exajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The exajoule (EJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power units like EJ/s emerged with the development of large-scale energy measurement, particularly in fields such as astrophysics and energy production, to quantify extremely high power levels.
Current Use
EJ/s is used primarily in theoretical and large-scale energy discussions, such as in astrophysics, planetary science, and global energy consumption analysis, where extremely high power levels are involved.
