Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s] to newton meter/second [N*m/s], or Convert newton meter/second to kilocalorie (th)/second.
How to Convert Kilocalorie (Th)/second to Newton Meter/second
1 kcal(th)/s = 4184 N*m/s
Example: convert 15 kcal(th)/s to N*m/s:
15 kcal(th)/s = 15 × 4184 N*m/s = 62760 N*m/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.
Newton Meter/second
A unit of power representing one newton meter of work done per second, equivalent to a watt.
History/Origin
The newton meter/second has been used in physics and engineering to quantify power, especially in contexts involving torque and rotational work, aligning with the SI system's units for work and time.
Current Use
Primarily used in engineering and physics to measure power in systems involving torque and rotational motion, often interchangeably with watts in SI units.
