What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you translate power measurements from attojoule per second (aJ/s), which quantify ultra-low power levels, to kilocalorie (IT) per second, a unit used in thermal engineering and calorimetry for reporting heat transfer rates.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the numerical value in attojoule/second you wish to convert
-
Select attojoule/second as the source unit and kilocalorie (IT)/second as the target unit

Common Use Cases
-
Analyzing ultra-low power consumption in IoT devices and microelectronic sensors
-
Relating quantum or nanoscale power dissipation to heat-transfer rates in calorimetry
-
Converting metabolic energy rates from kilocalories per hour to watts for biomedical applications
-
Reporting thermal power in legacy engineering literature using International Table calories
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate input values due to very small magnitudes when using attojoule/second
-
Beware of differences in calorie definitions when precision is critical
-
Use the converter to facilitate understanding of power values across scientific disciplines
-
Double-check unit selections to avoid confusion between various power measures
Limitations
-
Attojoule/second represents extremely tiny power levels which may be difficult to measure precisely
-
Kilocalorie (IT)/second is a large unit relative to attojoule/second, causing very small conversion results
-
Different calorie definitions may affect conversion accuracy in specialized contexts
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does attojoule/second measure?
-
Attojoule per second measures extremely small rates of energy transfer, often at nanoscale or quantum levels.
-
Why convert attojoule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/second?
-
Converting helps relate tiny power values to classical thermal units used in calorimetry and biomedical analysis.
-
Are there differences in calorie units that affect conversion?
-
Yes, the International Table calorie differs from others, so exact work requires attention to these differences.
Key Terminology
-
Attojoule/second [aJ/s]
-
A unit of power equal to 10^-18 joules transferred per second, used for extremely low energy transfer rates.
-
Kilocalorie (IT)/second
-
A unit of power equal to one kilocalorie (International Table) of energy transferred per second, often used in thermal and biomedical fields.
-
Power
-
The rate at which energy is transferred or converted, measured in units such as watts, attojoule/second, or kilocalorie/second.
