Converting from Kilowatt (kW) to Calorie per Second (cal/s) | Power

What is Kilowatt (kW)

Kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). It is commonly used to measure the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. One kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts.

What is Calorie per Second (cal/s)

Calorie per Second (cal/s) is a unit of power commonly used in the field of nutrition and biochemistry to measure the rate at which energy is expended or generated. It represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius in one second.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Kilowatt (kW) and Calorie per Second (cal/s) can be done using the following formulas:

Kilowatt (kW) to Calorie per Second (cal/s): Power=Kilowatt×238.8459

Calorie per Second (cal/s) to Kilowatt (kW): Power=Calorie per Second×0.0041868

Examples

1. Converting 3 kW to cal/s:

3 kW=3×238.8459=716.5377 cal/s

2. Converting 15 cal/s to kW:

15 cal/s=15×0.0041868=0.062802 kW

3. Converting 8 kW to cal/s:

8 kW=8×238.8459=1910.767 cal/s

Conclusion

Use the provided conversion formulas to easily convert between Kilowatt (kW) and Calorie per Second (cal/s).
