Convert joule/minute to gigajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert joule/minute [J/min] to gigajoule/second [GJ/s], or Convert gigajoule/second to joule/minute.
How to Convert Joule/minute to Gigajoule/second
1 J/min = 1.6666667e-11 GJ/s
Example: convert 15 J/min to GJ/s:
15 J/min = 15 × 1.6666667e-11 GJ/s = 2.50000005e-10 GJ/s

Joule/minute
Joule per minute (J/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in joules transferred or converted per minute.
History/Origin
The joule per minute has been used as a measure of power in various engineering and scientific contexts, especially where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, though it is less common than watts.
Current Use
J/min is used in specific applications such as industrial processes, heating systems, and other scenarios where power is measured over a minute, but it is generally converted to watts for standardization in scientific and technical fields.
Gigajoule/second
A gigajoule per second (GJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one gigajoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The gigajoule per second emerged as a larger-scale unit of power measurement, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify high power levels, especially in energy production and consumption. It is derived from the SI unit joule and the prefix giga, combined with the second as the time unit.
Current Use
GJ/s is used in fields such as energy industry, power generation, and large-scale energy transfer analysis to express high power rates, often in the context of power plants, energy infrastructure, and large energy projects.
