What does kilocalorie (th)/minute represent?

It is a unit of power quantifying thermal energy transfer rate, defined as one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered each minute.

Why convert kilocalorie (th)/minute to kilojoule/minute?

To express thermal power rates in a standardized SI-derived unit commonly used in scientific and engineering fields.

Are kilocalorie (th)/minute and kilojoule/minute measuring the same physical quantity?

Yes, both units measure power as energy transferred per time, but they use different scales and unit definitions.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms power values from kilocalorie (th)/minute to kilojoule/minute (kJ/min), both units that measure the rate of energy transfer per minute in thermal and physiological contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in kilocalorie (th)/minute you want to convert.
Select kilocalorie (th)/minute as the starting unit and kilojoule/minute as the target unit.
Submit the input to receive the equivalent power value in kilojoule/minute.

Key Features

Converts thermal power from kilocalorie (th)/minute to the SI-derived kilojoule/minute unit.
Supports applications in metabolic energy expenditure, calorimetry, and small appliance power measurement.
Uses a precise conversion factor based on established energy definitions.

Examples

2 Kilocalorie (th)/minute converts to 8.368 Kilojoule/minute.
0.5 Kilocalorie (th)/minute converts to 2.092 Kilojoule/minute.

Common Use Cases

Describing human metabolic power during exercise using kcal per minute.
Measuring heat output from small burners or lab heaters.
Reporting energy transfer rates in food energy calculations and calorimetry.
Expressing power in laboratory experiments tracking heating or cooling rates per minute.

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm that the kilocalorie measurement uses the thermochemical definition for consistency.
Use this conversion for energy transfer rates measured over minutes rather than seconds.
Apply the converter when precise translation to SI-derived units aids scientific or engineering analysis.

Limitations

Conversion accuracy depends on the strict use of the thermochemical kilocalorie definition.
Differences in calorie definitions (thermochemical versus international) can affect results.
Assumes energy transfer rates are constant during the entire one-minute interval.
