Convert kilocalorie (thermochemical) per second to watts
Kilocalorie (Thermochemical) per Second
Kilocalorie (thermochemical) per second is a unit of power equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie transferred per second, approximately 4,184 watts (4.184 kW exactly). It is used in thermochemical and combustion engineering to express high-rate thermal power outputs. One kcal (th)/s equals 3,600 kcal (th)/h and is slightly less than the IT equivalent.
Watt
The watt (symbol: W ) is a unit of power. In the International System of Units (SI) it is defined as a derived unit of 1 joule per second, and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. In SI base units, the watt is described as kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3 , which can be demonstrated to be coherent by dimensional analysis. The watt is named after James Watt, an 18th-century Scottish inventor.
