What does millijoule per second measure?

Millijoule per second measures power as the rate of energy transfer at 0.001 joules per second, often used for low-power systems.

Why use calorie (th)/hour for power?

Calorie (th)/hour expresses thermal power based on thermochemical calories transferred per hour, useful in heat transfer and physiological contexts.

Is calorie (th)/hour an SI unit?

No, calorie (th)/hour is a non-SI unit and is less common outside specialized thermal and laboratory applications.

What Is This Tool?

This conversion tool allows users to change power values from millijoule per second (mJ/s), a unit commonly used for low-power electronic and thermal systems, to calorie (th)/hour, a unit expressing thermal power in thermochemical calories per hour. It helps bridge energy rate units between electrical and thermal contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in millijoule per second (mJ/s).
Select millijoule/second as the input unit and calorie (th)/hour as the output unit.
The tool applies the conversion rate and displays the equivalent value in calorie (th)/hour.
Use results to interpret low power or thermal measurements in the desired unit.

Key Features

Provides precise conversion using defined rates without approximations.
Includes examples to illustrate calculation steps.
Useful for laboratory, physiological, and microscale thermal applications.

Examples

Convert 2 mJ/s: 2 × 0.8604206501 = 1.7208413 cal (th)/h
Convert 5 mJ/s: 5 × 0.8604206501 = 4.30210325 cal (th)/h

Common Use Cases

Describing power consumption in low-power devices such as sensors and microcontrollers.
Measuring small heat release rates in laboratory calorimetry of chemical reactions or samples.
Expressing metabolic heat production rates in physiological studies using calories per hour.
Design and testing of microscale thermal devices and low-power electronic components.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure correct units are selected before conversion to maintain accuracy.
Utilize this conversion to relate electrical power to thermal power in research settings.
Be aware of the non-SI nature of calorie (th)/hour when comparing with SI units.
Consider the scale limitations, as millijoule/second suits only very low power applications.

Limitations

Calorie (th)/hour is a non-SI unit and has limited use outside specialized thermal fields.
Conversion requires attention to unit consistency due to different base energy and time units.
Millijoule/second applies mostly to very low power systems; not suited for larger scale energy rates.
