What Is This Tool?
This tool converts power measurements from kilojoule per minute (kJ/min), a unit representing energy transfer per minute, into milliwatt (mW), which measures power as energy transfer per second. It helps translate power data expressed over minutes into a standard power unit suitable for electronic and engineering applications.
How to Use This Tool?

Common Use Cases
-
Reporting metabolic energy expenditure during exercise in physiology
-
Describing heating or cooling rates per minute in laboratory calorimetry
-
Specifying power for small appliances measured over minutes rather than seconds
-
Expressing power consumption of small electronic components like LEDs and sensors
-
Evaluating output power of audio amplifiers and portable audio devices
-
Measuring optical and RF device outputs such as laser diodes and Bluetooth transmitters
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the context justifies averaging energy flow over a minute before converting
-
Use the converter when comparing minute-based energy rates to instantaneous power outputs
-
Refer to the standard conversion rate to maintain consistency across measurements
-
Understand your application field to choose appropriate units for power representation
Limitations
-
Kilojoule/minute reflects energy transfer averaged over one minute, whereas milliwatt is an instantaneous per second power unit
-
Conversion may lose precision if the base time intervals mismatch in context
-
Users must confirm that the conversion fits the measurement scenario to avoid misinterpretation
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert kilojoule per minute to milliwatt?
-
Users convert to translate energy per minute into a more granular, standard power unit useful for comparing with electronic components and devices rated in milliwatts.
-
What does 1 kJ/min equal in milliwatts?
-
1 kilojoule per minute equals 16666.666666667 milliwatts.

In which fields is this conversion commonly used?
-
This conversion is often applied in exercise physiology, laboratory calorimetry, electrical engineering, audio device manufacturing, and optical or radio-frequency equipment testing.
Key Terminology
-
Kilojoule per minute (kJ/min)
-
A power unit measuring the rate of energy transfer as one kilojoule delivered or consumed each minute.
-
Milliwatt (mW)
-
One thousandth of a watt, representing energy transfer at a rate of one joule per second.
