What are Nanowatt and Kilocalorie

Definition of Nanowatt

A nanowatt is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) that equals one billionth of a watt (10^-9 watts). It is often used in contexts where very small amounts of power are involved, such as in microelectronics or nanotechnology. The term 'nano' signifies a factor of 10^-9, indicating the scale of the measurement. This unit allows for precise quantification and analysis of power in systems where standard units like watts would be impractically large.

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie, often referred to as Calorie with a capital 'C', is a unit of energy commonly used in nutrition to quantify the amount of energy food provides. It represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. In scientific contexts, it is also known as the large calorie or kilogram calorie. Unlike the smaller calorie, which measures energy at a molecular level, the kilocalorie is more applicable in dietary contexts, providing a clearer understanding of energy intake and expenditure.

Nanowatt to Kilocalorie Conversion Table

Nanowatt (nW) Kilocalorie (IT)/second (kcal/s)
0.01 nW 2.39E-12 kcal/s
0.1 nW 2.39E-11 kcal/s
1 nW 2.39E-10 kcal/s
10 nW 2.39E-9 kcal/s
100 nW 2.39E-8 kcal/s
1000 nW 2.39E-7 kcal/s
10000 nW 2.39E-6 kcal/s
100000 nW 2.39E-5 kcal/s
1000000 nW 2.39E-4 kcal/s
10000000 nW 2.39E-3 kcal/s

Conversion of Nanowatt to Kilocalorie

1 nW = 2.39E-10 kcal/s
1 kcal/s = 4.184E9 nW

Example 1:
convert 5 nW to kcal/s:
5 nW = 5 × 2.39E-10 kcal/s = 1.195E-9 kcal/s

Example 2:
convert 3.5 nW to kcal/s:
3.5 nW = 3.5 × 2.39E-10 kcal/s = 8.365E-10 kcal/s
