How to convert watts to kcal

Watts, W, W – SI the unit of power was named after its maker, James watt. Watts as a measure of capacity adopted in the 1889, previously used HP – horsepower. Will not be superfluous to know how power can be transferred to other units.

Instruction

1. To transfer the electrical power (occasionally say heat capacity) to any other unit of measurement, use of data on the ratio of different units. To do this, simply multiply the given number of power ratio that matches the unit of measure in which to translate.
   1 Watt-hour is equivalent to only 3.57 kJ;
   1 Watt is equal to 107 erg/s; 1 j/s; 859,85 cal/h; 0,00134 HP
   For example, the organization pointed out a number 244,23 kW, which should translate into calories.
   244,23 kW => 244,23* 1000 watts = 244,23* 1000* 859,85 => = 210 000 000 cal/h or 0.21 G cal/h
2. In the calculations related to power, typically use the standard consoles, especially when the measured value is too small or, on the contrary, large. This simplifies the calculations associated with the order value. Watts by itself is almost never used. Put the multiple number among a form according to the scheme given below.
   
   1 micro (MC) => 1*0,000001
   1 mile (m) = > 1*0,001
   1 Santi (C) => 1*0,01
   1 deci (d) => 1*0,1
   1 Deka (da) => 1*10
   1гекто (g) => 1*100
   1 kilo (K) => 1*1 000
   1 Mega (M)=> 1*1 000 000
   1 Giga (G) => 1* 1 000 000 000
3. Find out what kind of unit of measure of heat energy required to transfer power. The options are: j or Joule – unit of work and energy; Cal (Calories) is the unit of heat energy, can be written simply as calories, and might look like this – kcal/hour.
