Convert Btu (IT)/hour to kilocalorie (th)/second
Enter a value below to convert Btu (IT)/hour [Btu/h] to kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s]. Reverse conversion: Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to Btu (IT)/hour.
1 Btu/h = 7.0045666826e-05 kcal(th)/s. To convert Btu (IT)/hour to kilocalorie (th)/second, multiply the value by 7.0045666826e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kcal(th)/s = 14276.4006014 Btu/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Btu (It)/hour: Definition and Use
Btu (IT)/hour (Btu/h) is a unit of power that measures the rate of energy transfer, specifically the amount of British thermal units (IT) transferred per hour.
History/Origin
The Btu (IT) originated from the British thermal unit used in the United States and was standardized for industrial and engineering purposes. The per-hour notation became common in applications requiring power measurement, especially in heating and cooling systems.
Current Use
Btu/h is widely used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industries to specify the capacity of heating and cooling equipment, as well as in energy analysis and thermodynamics.
Kilocalorie (Th)/second: Definition and Use
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.
