How to Convert Kilocalories per Hour to BTU per Second
The kilocalorie per hour and btu per second are both units of power. 1 btu per second equals 907.18474 kilocalories per hour. This means to convert kilocalories per hour to btu per second, you divide by 907.18474.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 kcal/h to btu per second:
We need to convert kilocalories per hour to btu per second
Since 1 BTU/s = 907.18474 kcal/h, divide by 907.18474
5 ÷ 907.18474 = 0.0055115566
5 kcal/h = 0.0055115566 BTU/s

About These Units
Kilocalorie per Hour (kcal/h)
Kilocalories per hour (kcal/h) measures metabolic rate and heat production, equal to 1.163 watts. Basal metabolic rate is about 60-80 kcal/h. Exercise increases metabolic rate to 300-900 kcal/h depending on intensity. Also called "large calories per hour."
BTU per Second (BTU/s)
BTU per second (BTU/s) equals 1,055 watts or 3,600 BTU per hour. BTU/s measures high-power thermal processes, industrial burners, and rapid heating applications. Rarely used compared to BTU/h; primarily appears in engineering calculations.
