What are Erg/second and Kilocalorie (th)/minute

Definition of Erg/second

An Erg/second is a unit of power in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It represents the rate of energy transfer equivalent to one erg of energy per second. The term 'erg' originates from the Greek word 'ergon,' meaning work or task, and is a small unit of energy. In scientific terms, one erg is equal to 10^-7 joules. Although the CGS system is largely replaced by the International System of Units (SI), the Erg/second unit still finds use in specific scientific fields like astrophysics and particle physics, where small-scale energy measurements are common.

Definition of Kilocalorie (th)/minute

A Kilocalorie (th)/minute is a unit of power that measures the amount of energy transferred or converted per minute. It is derived from the term 'kilocalorie,' which represents the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. The 'th' in Kilocalorie (th) stands for 'thermochemical,' referring to its specific use in thermochemical calculations, which slightly differ from dietary calories. This unit is often used in fields like nutrition, biology, and chemistry to quantify energy transfer rates in metabolic processes and other energy transformations within systems.

Conversion of Erg/second to Kilocalorie (th)/minute

1 erg/s = 0.00000000023885 kcal(th)/min
1 kcal(th)/min = 41868000 erg/s

Example 1:
Convert 5000000 erg/s to kcal(th)/min:
5000000 erg/s = 5000000 × 0.00000000023885 kcal(th)/min = 0.00119425 kcal(th)/min

Example 2:
Convert 0.0005 kcal(th)/min to erg/s:
0.0005 kcal(th)/min = 0.0005 × 41868000 erg/s = 20934 erg/s
