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

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.
Exawatt
An exawatt (EW) is a unit of power equal to 10^18 watts.
History/Origin
The exawatt is part of the SI prefix system, introduced to represent extremely large power quantities, especially in theoretical physics and astrophysics, as the need to express vast energy outputs grew.
Current Use
Exawatts are primarily used in scientific contexts to describe the power output of large-scale phenomena such as stars and cosmic events; they are rarely used in everyday measurements.
