Please provide values below to convert hectowatt [hW] to calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s], or Convert calorie (th)/second to hectowatt.
How to Convert Hectowatt to Calorie (Th)/second
1 hW = 0.0239005736137667 cal(th)/s
Example: convert 15 hW to cal(th)/s:
15 hW = 15 × 0.0239005736137667 cal(th)/s = 0.358508604206501 cal(th)/s

Hectowatt
A hectowatt (hW) is a unit of power equal to 100 watts.
History/Origin
The hectowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide larger units of power measurement, though it is rarely used in practice today.
Current Use
The hectowatt is seldom used in modern contexts; power is typically expressed in watts or kilowatts, but it may appear in specific engineering or scientific applications requiring larger units.
Calorie (Th)/second
Calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which thermal calories are transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie (th), or thermochemical calorie, was historically used to quantify energy in thermodynamics and nutrition. Its use in power measurement, such as cal(th)/s, emerged in scientific contexts to express thermal energy transfer rates before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/s is rarely used in scientific practice, having been largely replaced by watts (W). It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
