Convert microwatt to kilocalorie (th)/second
Please provide values below to convert microwatt [µW] to kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s], or Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to microwatt.
How to Convert Microwatt to Kilocalorie (Th)/second
1 µW = 2.39005736137667e-10 kcal(th)/s
Example: convert 15 µW to kcal(th)/s:
15 µW = 15 × 2.39005736137667e-10 kcal(th)/s = 3.58508604206501e-09 kcal(th)/s

Microwatt
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt, used to measure very small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The microwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to provide standardized units for small quantities of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, gaining prominence with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microwatts are used in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering to quantify low power levels in devices, sensors, and circuits.
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.
