-
Browser-based tool for quick and easy power unit conversion
Examples
-
1 fJ/s equals approximately 8.604206500956 × 10⁻¹³ cal (th)/h
-
10 fJ/s converts to around 8.604206500956 × 10⁻¹² cal (th)/h
Common Use Cases
-
Estimating energy dissipation in ultra-low-power nanoelectronic circuits
-
Describing heat-transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry and chemical reaction analyses
-
Expressing physiological metabolic heat production in non-SI thermal units
-
Reporting background power in precision quantum and single-particle detection experiments
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input values represent extremely small power levels due to the femtojoule scale
-
Use this converter to bridge data from nanoscale electronic devices to thermal power metrics
-
Interpret results carefully since calorie (th)/hour is a non-SI unit and may need conversion to watts for standard reporting
-
Consider the tiny magnitude of results and verify measurement methods in practical applications
Limitations
-
The very small scales involved produce minute calorie (th)/hour values that require sensitive measurement instruments
-
Calorie (th)/hour is a non-SI unit which may not apply in all scientific contexts
-
Measurement accuracy may be limited by instrumentation when working at femtojoule per second levels
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does femtojoule per second measure?
-
Femtojoule per second is a unit of power representing extremely small rates of energy transfer equal to 10⁻¹⁵ joule per second.
-
Why convert femtojoule/second to calorie (th)/hour?
-
Converting to calorie (th)/hour helps express quantum-scale power levels in thermal units used in calorimetry and physiological heat measurements.
-
Is calorie (th)/hour an SI unit?
-
No. Calorie (th)/hour is a non-SI unit commonly used in thermal power contexts but often converted to watts for standard scientific use.
