What does centijoule per second (cJ/s) measure?

Centijoule per second quantifies power as one hundredth of a joule transferred every second, representing very small steady power levels.

Why convert centijoule/second to kilojoule/hour?

Converting allows translating very small steady power into energy rates over hours, useful for comparisons in building physics, metabolic monitoring, and calorimetry.

What should I consider about the time scales when converting cJ/s to kJ/h?

Since cJ/s measures energy per second and kJ/h per hour, it’s important to ensure that averaging or summing energy rates over the longer timescale is appropriate for your application.

What Is This Tool?

This tool helps convert power measurements from centijoule per second (cJ/s), which expresses very small steady power levels per second, into kilojoule per hour (kJ/h), a unit describing energy transfer over an hourly timeframe. It is ideal for applications involving low-power electronics and energy rate comparisons.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in centijoule per second (cJ/s)
Select centijoule/second as the input unit
Choose kilojoule/hour (kJ/h) as the output unit
Click convert to get the equivalent power in kilojoule per hour
Review the result and use it for energy rate analysis or reporting

Key Features

Converts centijoule/second (cJ/s) values into kilojoule/hour (kJ/h)
Shows conversion formula and example calculations
Supports scientific and engineering power unit conversions
Browser-based and easy to use with clear unit definitions
Facilitates understanding of energy rates over different time scales

Examples

5 cJ/s converts to 0.18 kJ/h by multiplying 5 by 0.036
10 cJ/s equals 0.36 kJ/h following the conversion formula
These illustrate translating small steady power into hourly energy units

Common Use Cases

Measuring power draw of low-power sensors, IoT devices, or wearables
Reporting small outputs from photodiodes, LEDs, or laboratory components
Characterizing energy harvested by micro-energy devices in prototypes
Expressing heating or cooling rates in building physics over hours
Monitoring metabolic or exercise energy expenditure as energy per hour
Performing low-rate heat transfer measurements in calorimetry

Tips & Best Practices

Always confirm the context justifies comparing instantaneous and hourly power units
Use precise instruments to measure very small power values accurately
Remember that centijoule/second measures energy per second while kilojoule/hour covers an hour
Use example conversions to verify your calculations
Be mindful of the time scale difference when interpreting results

Limitations

Conversion involves different time scales—seconds vs. hours—requiring cautious interpretation
Very small values might be challenging to measure without high precision tools
Users should ensure the averaging or summing over an hour fits the measurement context
