What are Picowatt and Kilocalorie

Definition of Picowatt

A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) that is equal to one trillionth (1×10^-12) of a watt. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, and the watt is its standard SI unit. The picowatt, being an exceedingly small unit, typically finds use in scientific fields where precision measurements are crucial, such as in electronics, telecommunications, and other domains requiring the monitoring of very low power levels.

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie (th), often referred to as a food calorie, is a unit of energy. It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. In the context of nutrition and diet, kilocalories are used to quantify the energy content of foods and drinks. While the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) is the joule, kilocalories are still commonly used in many countries to describe the energy value of food.

Conversion of Picowatt to Kilocalorie

1 pW = 0.00000086 kcal/h
1 kcal/h = 1162790697.67 pW

Example 1:
convert 10 pW to kcal/h:
10 pW = 10 × 0.00000086 kcal/h = 0.0000086 kcal/h

Example 2:
convert 50 pW to kcal/h:
50 pW = 50 × 0.00000086 kcal/h = 0.000043 kcal/h
