What Is This Tool?
This converter facilitates the transformation of power measurements from calorie (th)/minute, a unit used in heat transfer and physiology, into newton meter/second, the mechanical power unit equivalent to watts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in calorie (th)/minute you wish to convert.
-
Select the target unit as newton meter/second for the output.
-
Use the provided formula or converter to obtain the equivalent mechanical power measurement.
Key Features
-
Converts power values between calorie (th)/minute and newton meter/second accurately based on established rates.
-

Examples
-
Convert 10 calorie (th)/minute: 10 × 0.0697333333 = 0.697333333 newton meter/second.
-
Convert 50 calorie (th)/minute: 50 × 0.0697333333 = 3.486666665 newton meter/second.
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting heat-release rates in laboratory calorimetry experiments.
-
Expressing human or animal metabolic energy expenditure for physiological studies.
-
Translating calorimetric energy rates into mechanical power for engineering analysis.
-
Comparing energy transfer rates in food heating tests and mechanical power systems.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure consistent use of thermochemical calorie definitions when converting units.
-
Double-check input values for accuracy to avoid rounding errors in results.
-
Use steady-state power rates for reliable conversions; transient measurements may need additional analysis.
Limitations
-
The calorie (th)/minute unit is mainly applied in calorimetry and physiology and may not be standard outside those fields.
-
Accuracy depends on the exact definition of the thermochemical calorie and consistent unit application.
-
Conversions assume consistent energy transfer rates and do not cover complex or transient power profiles.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does calorie (th)/minute measure?
-
Calorie (th)/minute measures power as the rate of energy transfer in thermochemical calories delivered per minute.
-
How is newton meter/second related to watts?
-
One newton meter per second equals one joule per second, which is equivalent to one watt.
-
Why convert calorie (th)/minute to newton meter/second?
-
Converting allows comparing heat-transfer rates in dietary or physiological units to mechanical power units used in engineering.
Key Terminology
-
Calorie (th)/minute
-
A unit of power representing one thermochemical calorie transferred per minute; equals 4.184 joules per minute.
-
Newton meter/second
-
A mechanical power unit denoting one joule of work per second, equivalent to one watt.
