Key Features
-
Converts power values between newton meter/second and kilojoule/hour [kJ/h].
-
Based on the precise conversion rate: 1 newton meter/second equals 3.6 kilojoule/hour.
-
Suitable for applications in mechanical power, heating/cooling analysis, and exercise energy expenditure.
-
Browser-based and easy to operate with straightforward input and output.
Examples
-
2 newton meter/second converts to 7.2 kilojoule/hour [kJ/h].
-
0.5 newton meter/second converts to 1.8 kilojoule/hour [kJ/h].
Common Use Cases
-
Calculating mechanical power using torque and rotation speed.
-
Expressing heat loss rates through building materials on an hourly basis.
-
Reporting metabolic energy expenditure during exercise as energy per hour.
-
Laboratory measurements of heat transfer rates over extended periods.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the timescale of your measurement aligns with hourly data for accurate interpretation.
-
Use this conversion to represent averaged power values when instantaneous rates are less relevant.
-
Double-check units before converting to prevent errors in calculations.
Limitations
-
Kilojoule/hour averages power over an hour and does not capture short-term variations.
-
This conversion is appropriate only when measurements are reported or monitored on an hourly basis.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one newton meter/second represent in terms of power?
-
One newton meter per second measures power as the rate of energy transfer, equivalent to one joule per second (one watt).
-
Why convert newton meter/second to kilojoule/hour?
-
Converting to kilojoule/hour expresses mechanical power over longer periods, suitable for hourly energy consumption or production reporting.
-
Can this converter be used for instantaneous power measurements?
-
No, kilojoule/hour averages power over time and is better suited for applications involving energy transfer recorded hourly rather than instantaneous values.
Key Terminology
-
Newton meter/second
-
A unit of power measuring the rate of work or energy transfer, equal to one joule per second or one watt.
-
Kilojoule/hour [kJ/h]
-
A unit of power measuring energy transfer rate as 1,000 joules per hour, useful for expressing power averaged over longer time intervals.
