What does 1 millijoule per second represent?

It is a unit of power equal to 0.001 joules per second or 1 milliwatt, typically used for low-power electronic systems.

Why is the thermochemical calorie used in this conversion?

The thermochemical calorie is a defined energy unit equal to exactly 4.184 joules, making it suitable for precise power measurements in calorimetry and thermal engineering.

Can this conversion be used for high-power measurements?

This tool is intended for low power values and microscale thermal rates; very high power conversions might require different unit considerations.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter tool helps you translate power values measured in millijoules per second (mJ/s), commonly used for low-power electronic and microscale thermal measurements, into calorie (thermochemical) per second units that are often applied in calorimetry and thermal engineering.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in millijoule/second (mJ/s) in the input field
Select millijoule/second as the source unit and calorie (th)/second as the target unit
Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in calorie (th)/second
Use the results to compare or translate power measurements across different unit systems

Key Features

Converts power from millijoule/second (mJ/s) to calorie (th)/second instantly
Browser-based and user-friendly interface suitable for specialists and students
Supports conversion of low-level power relevant to electronics, laboratory, and heating applications
Displays results based on accurate thermochemical calorie definitions

Examples

Convert 10 mJ/s: 10 × 0.0002390057 = 0.00239 cal(th)/s
Convert 500 mJ/s: 500 × 0.0002390057 = 0.1195 cal(th)/s

Common Use Cases

Determining power consumption in low-power electronics such as sensors and wearables
Measuring optical output and thermal energy release in laboratory settings
Reporting heat flow in calorimetry experiments using thermochemical calories
Converting legacy thermal power data from calories to SI units for engineering calculations

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you specify the thermochemical calorie to avoid unit definition conflicts
Use this converter for low power levels consistent with millijoule per second measurements
Keep in mind practical inefficiencies are not accounted for in the conversion
Verify measurement instrumentation precision when working with very small power values

Limitations

Values in millijoule/second convert to small calorie fractions, which might be negligible in some contexts
Different calorie definitions can cause discrepancies unless clearly defined as thermochemical
The tool assumes ideal conditions without accounting for real-world thermal losses
