Convert calorie / hour to watt

Learn how to convert 1 calorie / hour to watt step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{h o u r}) = x (w a t t)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{h o u r}) = \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (w a t t) = \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (W)

Right side: 1.0 (w a t t) = 1.0 (w a t t) = 1.0 (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{h o u r}) = x (w a t t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (w a t t) = x \times 1.0 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (W) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (W) = x \times 1.0 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

\frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = x \times 1.0

Simplify

\frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = x

Switch sides

x = \frac{4.1868}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{3}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 3}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 3} \times 4.1868}{3.6}

Solve

x

x = 0.001163 = 1.163 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{h o u r}) = 1.163 \times 10^{- 3} (w a t t)
