Convert nanowatt to calorie (th)/second
Please provide values below to convert nanowatt [nW] to calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s], or Convert calorie (th)/second to nanowatt.
How to Convert Nanowatt to Calorie (Th)/second
1 nW = 2.39005736137667e-13 cal(th)/s
Example: convert 15 nW to cal(th)/s:
15 nW = 15 × 2.39005736137667e-13 cal(th)/s = 3.58508604206501e-12 cal(th)/s

Nanowatt
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10^-9 W).
History/Origin
The nanowatt is derived from the SI unit watt, with the prefix 'nano-' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very small power levels, especially in electronics and nanotechnology.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in fields requiring precise measurement of tiny power quantities, such as in sensor technology, low-power electronics, and nanotechnology research.
Calorie (Th)/second
Calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which thermal calories are transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie (th), or thermochemical calorie, was historically used to quantify energy in thermodynamics and nutrition. Its use in power measurement, such as cal(th)/s, emerged in scientific contexts to express thermal energy transfer rates before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/s is rarely used in scientific practice, having been largely replaced by watts (W). It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
