Convert hectowatt to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert hectowatt [hW] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to hectowatt.
How to Convert Hectowatt to Kilojoule/second
1 hW = 0.1 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 hW to kJ/s:
15 hW = 15 × 0.1 kJ/s = 1.5 kJ/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.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
