-
Browser-based tool for quick and easy conversions
-
Useful for applications ranging from laboratory calorimetry to energy grid modeling
Examples
-
100 calorie (th)/hour equals approximately 1.1622222222222e-13 terajoule/second
-
1,000,000 calorie (th)/hour equals about 1.1622222222222e-9 terajoule/second
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting very small heat-transfer rates in chemical or biological experiments
-
Expressing metabolic heat production using thermal calories per hour
-
Scaling low-level thermal power measurements for large-scale energy system analysis
-
Energy planning and modeling at national or global levels involving massive power flows
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the tool when you need to compare small thermal powers with very large energy outputs
-
Be mindful of the extremely small numerical results when converting to terajoule/second
-
Apply the conversion for contextual scaling rather than direct measurement use
-
Ensure that your input values are accurate to maintain meaningful results
Limitations
-
Calorie (th)/hour represents very small power values, resulting in tiny output numbers in TJ/s
-
Terajoule/second is intended for extremely large power scales and may not be practical for small-scale measurements
-
The conversion output may demand high precision due to the tiny conversion factor
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does calorie (th)/hour measure?
-
It measures thermal power as the rate of heat transfer in thermochemical calories per hour, commonly used in small-scale heat measurements.
-
What is a terajoule per second?
-
A terajoule per second is a unit of power corresponding to one trillion joules of energy transferred every second, equivalent to one terawatt.
-
Why convert from calorie (th)/hour to terajoule/second?
-
To translate very small thermal power measurements into units appropriate for extremely large power flows, aiding comparison and integration across different scales.
Key Terminology
-
Calorie (th)/hour
-
