What Is This Tool?
This tool allows users to convert power units from calorie (th)/minute, a measure of thermal energy rate, into dekajoule/second [daJ/s], an SI-derived power unit. It facilitates easy translation of small-scale thermal power readings into standardized watt-based values.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in calorie (th)/minute you want to convert
-

Examples
-
Converting 10 calorie (th)/minute equals 0.069733333 daJ/s
-
Converting 100 calorie (th)/minute equals 0.69733333 daJ/s
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting heat release rates in small-scale calorimetry experiments
-
Expressing metabolic rates in physiology studies
-
Characterizing energy transfer in food-science heating tests
-
Rating household lighting and heating appliances
-
Specifying power output for engineering instruments
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure units are properly selected before converting
-
Use the tool for translating low-rate thermal power to SI units
-
Be mindful of small decimal results when interpreting conversions
-
Apply results within thermal energy transfer contexts only
-
Confirm unit definitions to match your specific measurement needs
Limitations
-
Calorie (th)/minute values convert to very small decimal dekajoule/second figures requiring precise handling
-
This conversion applies to the thermochemical calorie; other calorie definitions are not covered
-
Not suitable for non-thermal power conversions or unrelated energy units
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does calorie (th)/minute measure?
-
It measures power as the rate of heat or energy transfer using one thermochemical calorie delivered per minute.
-
What is a dekajoule/second [daJ/s] unit?
-
It is an SI-derived power unit equal to 10 joules per second, used to quantify energy transfer rates.
-
Why convert calorie (th)/minute to dekajoule/second?
-
To standardize low thermal power measurements for engineering analysis and appliance specification.
