Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to dekajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s] to dekajoule/second [daJ/s], or Convert dekajoule/second to kilocalorie (th)/second.
How to Convert Kilocalorie (Th)/second to Dekajoule/second
1 kcal(th)/s = 418.4 daJ/s
Example: convert 15 kcal(th)/s to daJ/s:
15 kcal(th)/s = 15 × 418.4 daJ/s = 6276 daJ/s

Kilocalorie (Th)/second
A kilocalorie (th)/second (kcal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories per second is transferred or converted.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (th) is a traditional unit of energy used primarily in nutrition and thermodynamics, with 'th' indicating the thermochemical definition. Its use in power measurements, such as kcal(th)/s, is less common and primarily for specialized scientific contexts.
Current Use
The unit kcal(th)/s is rarely used in modern practice; power is more commonly expressed in watts. When used, it typically appears in scientific research involving energy transfer rates in thermochemical processes or specialized engineering applications.
Dekajoule/second
Dekajoule per second (daJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one dekajoule equals ten joules per second.
History/Origin
The dekajoule is a non-SI unit introduced as a multiple of the joule, primarily used in older or specialized contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of the SI system, but it remains recognized for certain applications involving large energy quantities.
Current Use
Today, daJ/s is rarely used in scientific contexts, with the watt (W) being the standard SI unit for power. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial measurements where larger energy units are convenient.
