Convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to exajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour [kcal/h] to exajoule/second [EJ/s], or Convert exajoule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/hour.
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/hour to Exajoule/second
1 kcal/h = 1.163e-18 EJ/s
Example: convert 15 kcal/h to EJ/s:
15 kcal/h = 15 × 1.163e-18 EJ/s = 1.7445e-17 EJ/s

Kilocalorie (It)/hour
Kilocalorie per hour (kcal/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adopted as a unit of energy. Its use in power measurement, such as kcal/h, emerged in contexts like thermal and caloric power calculations, especially in fields related to heating and energy transfer.
Current Use
kcal/h is used in applications involving thermal power, such as heating systems, calorimetry, and energy transfer calculations where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
Exajoule/second
An exajoule per second (EJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one exajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The exajoule (EJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power units like EJ/s emerged with the development of large-scale energy measurement, particularly in fields such as astrophysics and energy production, to quantify extremely high power levels.
Current Use
EJ/s is used primarily in theoretical and large-scale energy discussions, such as in astrophysics, planetary science, and global energy consumption analysis, where extremely high power levels are involved.
