What does one joule per second represent?

One joule per second is an SI derived unit of power equal to one watt, measuring the rate of energy transfer per second.

Why convert joule/second to calorie (IT)/minute?

Converting to calorie (IT)/minute helps express power rates in terms of heat transfer relevant to laboratory calorimetry and physiological studies.

Is this conversion suitable for large power values?

No, for very large power levels, units such as kilowatts or megawatts are preferred as they are more convenient.

Use the displayed results to interpret power in thermal or metabolic contexts.

Key Features

Converts power units between joule/second and calorie (IT)/minute accurately.
Provides clear definitions and use cases for each unit.
Suitable for electrical, mechanical, calorimetric, and physiological power assessments.
Includes example calculations for quick reference.

Examples

Convert 2 J/s to cal/min: 2 × 14.3307537976 = 28.6615 cal/min
Convert 0.5 J/s to cal/min: 0.5 × 14.3307537976 = 7.1654 cal/min

Common Use Cases

Specifying electrical and mechanical power output in engineering.
Reporting heat transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry experiments.
Measuring metabolic power in exercise science and physiology.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion for small to moderate power values to maintain meaningful results.
Apply steady-state or average power values over a minute for accurate conversion.
Consult appropriate units like kilowatt or megawatt for very large power levels.

Limitations

Precision depends on the international-table calorie definition and time scale differences.
Not ideal for very high power outputs where larger units are more practical.
Assumes constant power over one minute, which may not reflect rapid fluctuations.
