What does megajoule per second measure?

Megajoule per second measures power as energy transferred or converted every second, equivalent to one megawatt.

When should I use calorie (th)/hour for power?

Use calorie (th)/hour mainly for small heat-transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry, metabolic heat measurements, or small device heat loss.

Why are the converted values so large?

Because megajoule/second measures very large power quantities while calorie (th)/hour is for small thermal powers, conversion numbers become very large.

What Is This Tool?

This tool allows users to convert power measurements from megajoule per second (MJ/s), a large-scale unit representing energy transfer rate, into thermochemical calorie per hour (cal (th)/h), a unit used for measuring smaller heat-transfer rates.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in megajoule per second (MJ/s) you want to convert
Select the target unit as calorie (th)/hour [cal (th)/h]
Submit the value to view the converted result using the conversion formula

Key Features

Converts between megajoule/second and calorie (th)/hour units of power
Provides clear conversion formulas and examples
Supports industrial, laboratory, and physiological power measurement needs
Browser-based and easy to use with quick calculations

Examples

2 MJ/s converts to approximately 1,720,841,300 cal (th)/h
0.5 MJ/s converts to approximately 430,210,325 cal (th)/h

Common Use Cases

Translating large power generation values into smaller thermal power units
Reporting heat-transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry experiments
Measuring physiological heat production in metabolic studies
Expressing heat rates in industrial boilers and heat exchangers

Tips & Best Practices

Use appropriate scaling when converting large power values to avoid unwieldy numbers
Remember that calorie (th)/hour is a non-SI unit; consider using watts for standard scientific communication
Verify unit selection carefully to ensure accurate conversions

Limitations

Resulting values can be very large due to difference in unit scales, possibly complicating interpretation
Calorie (th)/hour is a non-standard, non-SI unit preferred in specific fields only
Watt remains the recommended SI unit for power in most scientific and engineering contexts
