Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does microjoule per second [µJ/s] measure?
-
It measures power as the rate of energy transfer of one microjoule every second, representing very small power levels commonly found in electronics and photonics.
-
Why convert from microjoule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/second?
-
This conversion helps express microscopic power outputs as thermal energy rates, especially useful in calorimetry, physiology, and heat-transfer contexts.
-
Are there any challenges with this conversion?
-
Yes, because microjoule/second values are very small, their kilocalorie (IT)/second equivalents are tiny decimals that may be impractical without scaling or further processing.
