How to Convert Kilojoule/hour to Terajoule/second
1 kJ/h = 2.77777778e-13 TJ/s
Example: convert 15 kJ/h to TJ/s:
15 kJ/h = 15 × 2.77777778e-13 TJ/s = 4.16666667e-12 TJ/s

Kilojoule/hour
A kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in kilojoules transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per hour has been used as a measure of power in contexts where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, particularly in engineering and scientific applications, though it is less common than standard SI units like watts.
Current Use
kJ/h is used in specific fields such as thermodynamics and energy management to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in systems where energy is measured in kilojoules and the rate is expressed per hour, though it is often converted to watts for standardization.
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.
