Convert hectowatt to terajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert hectowatt [hW] to terajoule/second [TJ/s], or Convert terajoule/second to hectowatt.
How to Convert Hectowatt to Terajoule/second
1 hW = 1e-10 TJ/s
Example: convert 15 hW to TJ/s:
15 hW = 15 × 1e-10 TJ/s = 1.5e-09 TJ/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.
Terajoule/second
A terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillion joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The terajoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'tera' indicating a factor of 10^12. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very high power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production.
Current Use
TJ/s is used to quantify extremely high power outputs, such as in large-scale energy systems, astrophysical phenomena, and nuclear reactions, where conventional units like watts are insufficient to express the magnitude.
