What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms power values from kilojoule per second (kJ/s), a unit representing large-scale energy transfer rates, into calorie (th)/minute, a unit used for measuring smaller scale heat transfer rates. It is beneficial for applications across industrial, scientific, and physiological fields.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in kilojoule per second (kJ/s).
Select 'kilojoule/second [kJ/s]' as the input unit and 'calorie (th)/minute' as the output unit.
Click convert to see the equivalent energy transfer rate in calorie (th)/minute.

Key Features

Converts power from kJ/s to calorie (th)/minute using the exact thermochemical calorie definition.
Supports translation of large-scale electrical and mechanical power into small-scale heat transfer rates.
Ideal for various fields including HVAC, power generation, laboratory calorimetry, metabolic studies, and food science.

Examples

Convert 2 kJ/s: 2 × 14340.34416826 = 28680.68833652 calorie (th)/minute.
Convert 0.5 kJ/s: 0.5 × 14340.34416826 = 7170.17208413 calorie (th)/minute.

Common Use Cases

Rating power output or consumption of industrial motors and generators.
Quantifying heat transfer rates in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems.
Reporting metabolic energy expenditure in physiology experiments.
Performing calorimetry for laboratory heat release measurements.
Characterizing energy transfer in food heating tests.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure correct selection of the thermochemical calorie definition for consistency.
Consider the difference in scale between large power units and smaller heat transfer units.
Use the converter for scientific and engineering contexts where precise unit translation is needed.

Limitations

Kilojoule/second measures large-scale power outputs similar to kilowatts, while calorie (th)/minute suits smaller heat transfer rates.
Accuracy relies on consistent thermochemical calorie use defined as 4.184 joules.
Users must be mindful of scale differences to select appropriate units for their specific measurement context.
