What does kilocalorie (IT)/second measure?

It measures power based on the rate of energy transfer of one kilocalorie (International Table) per second, commonly used in thermal power and heat-transfer contexts.

Why use centijoule/second for conversion?

Centijoule/second expresses very small power levels, making it suitable for sensitive electronics, sensors, and micro-energy harvesting applications.

Are there any risks in converting between these units?

Yes, large numerical values can result from conversion and differences in calorie definitions must be accounted for to avoid miscalculations.

Easy-to-use interface allowing quick conversion of thermal power units.
Supports applications in engineering, biomedical analysis, and low-power device measurements.

Examples

2 Kilocalorie (IT)/second converts to 837,360 centijoule/second [cJ/s].
0.5 Kilocalorie (IT)/second converts to 209,340 centijoule/second [cJ/s].

Common Use Cases

Reporting heat transfer rates in older engineering and calorimetry studies using the International Table calorie.
Converting metabolic energy rates for physiological and biomedical research.
Characterizing harvested power from micro-energy harvesters in prototype systems.
Specifying power consumption of low-power sensors or wearable electronics.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure correct selection of calorie definitions to avoid errors in conversion.
Use this conversion to express large thermal power values into smaller, more precise units.
Handle large numerical results carefully to maintain clarity and accuracy in analysis.

Limitations

Values become very large after conversion due to the difference in unit scales, which may be cumbersome for direct interpretation.
Conversion accuracy depends on proper use of the International Table calorie definition; differences with other calorie standards can cause errors.
