What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform values measured in megajoule per second (MJ/s), a large unit of power, into calorie (IT) per minute (cal/min), which is used for smaller scale heat transfer measurements. It's useful for translating energy rates between industrial and laboratory scales.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 Megajoule/second represent?
-
It represents one million joules of energy transferred every second, equivalent to one megawatt.
-
In which fields is converting MJ/s to cal/min useful?
-
It is useful in power generation, thermal engineering laboratories, calorimetry research, and physiological studies.
-
Why are MJ/s and cal/min units so different?
-
Because MJ/s measures large power outputs while cal/min is used for small-scale continuous heat rates.
Key Terminology
-
Megajoule/second (MJ/s)
