What does megajoule per second (MJ/s) measure?

Megajoule per second measures power as the rate of energy transfer equal to one million joules per second, commonly used for large-scale power outputs.

What is calorie (IT)/second used for?

Calorie (IT)/second quantifies heat power based on the International Table calorie, often used in calorimetry and contexts involving older calorie-based thermal units.

Why might I choose this conversion?

This conversion helps express energy transfer rates in calorie units useful for analyzing historical data, thermal laboratory results, or systems using non-SI heat power units.

Examples

2 MJ/s equals 477691.793255 cal/s computed as 2 × 238845.8966275 cal/s.
0.5 MJ/s converts to 119422.94831375 cal/s using 0.5 × 238845.8966275 cal/s.

Common Use Cases

Expressing thermal power output for power plants or large turbines using calorie-based units.
Reporting heat-transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry with International Table calorie units.
Analyzing historical thermal power data originally measured in calories for engineering assessments.
Describing heating or cooling capacities in older technical systems employing calorie units.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the correct selection of units to match your data’s context before conversion.
Use this tool when working with heat transfer or power values involving the International Table calorie.
Cross-check results when comparing with modern SI units because calorie (IT) is a non-SI historical unit.
Consider the specific type of calorie used if you encounter different calorie definitions in literature.

Limitations

The calorie (IT) unit is a historical, non-SI measurement and may not be suitable for all modern calculations.
Accuracy depends on using the exact conversion constants; different calorie definitions can affect results.
This converter does not handle other calorie definitions such as thermochemical or international calories.
