Convert kilocalorie (it) per second to watts
Kilocalorie (IT) per Second
Kilocalorie (IT) per second is a unit of power equal to one IT kilocalorie transferred per second, approximately 4,186.8 watts (4.187 kW). It is used to express high thermal power rates in industrial thermodynamic and calorimetric contexts. One kcal (IT)/s equals 3,600 kcal (IT)/h.
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.
