What are Centiwatt and Kilocalorie

Definition of Centiwatt

A centiwatt is a unit of power equal to one-hundredth of a watt. It is a metric unit used to measure very small quantities of power, often in applications where precision is critical. The centiwatt is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is commonly used in fields such as electronics and physics. By providing a finer resolution than a watt, it allows for more detailed analysis and measurement of power in low-power devices and systems.

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie, often referred to as a calorie in dietary contexts, is a unit of energy. It represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. In scientific terms, the kilocalorie is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is used to quantify energy content in food and energy expenditure in biological systems. It plays a crucial role in nutrition and metabolic studies, helping to assess energy intake and consumption.

50 cW 0.00043 kcal/s
100 cW 0.00086 kcal/s
500 cW 0.0043 kcal/s

Conversion of Centiwatt to Kilocalorie

1 cW = 0.0000086 kcal/s
1 kcal/s = 116279.07 cW

Example 1:
convert 10 cW to kcal/s:
10 cW = 10 × 0.0000086 kcal/s = 0.000086 kcal/s

Example 2:
convert 50 cW to kcal/s:
50 cW = 50 × 0.0000086 kcal/s = 0.00043 kcal/s
