What Is This Tool?

This converter helps transform thermal power values from calorie (th)/hour, a traditional heat-transfer unit, into millijoule/second, a subunit of watts aligned with the SI system. It's designed to assist in translating non-SI thermal power readings into compatible units used in low-power thermal and electronic applications.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in calorie (th)/hour you wish to convert.
Select the source unit as calorie (th)/hour [cal (th)/h].
Choose the target unit as millijoule/second [mJ/s].
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent value in millijoule/second.

Key Features

Converts calorie (th)/hour units to millijoule/second with a precise conversion rate.
Supports thermal power measurements relevant to both laboratory and electronic contexts.
Offers compatibility with low-power heat-transfer and energy dissipation rates.
Includes worked examples for better understanding of the conversion process.

Examples

Convert 5 calorie (th)/hour: 5 cal (th)/h equals approximately 5.811111111 mJ/s.
Convert 10 calorie (th)/hour: 10 cal (th)/h equals approximately 11.622222222 mJ/s.

Common Use Cases

Reporting small heat-transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry for chemical or sample heat release.
Expressing metabolic or physiological heat production rates using calories per hour before converting to SI units.
Specifying power consumption and thermal output in low-power electronic devices such as sensors and wearables.
