Convert Kilocalorie per Hour to Milliwatt
Input the number of kilocalories per hour you want to convert to milliwatts.
How to Convert Kilocalories per Hour to Milliwatts
The kilocalorie per hour and milliwatt are both units of power. 1 milliwatt equals 859845.22786 kilocalories per hour. This means to convert kilocalories per hour to milliwatts, you divide by 859845.22786.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 kcal/h to milliwatts:
We need to convert kilocalories per hour to milliwatts
Since 1 mW = 859845.22786 kcal/h, divide by 859845.22786
5 ÷ 859845.22786 = 5.815e-6
5 kcal/h = 5.815e-6 mW

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."
Milliwatt (mW)
A milliwatt (mW) equals 0.001 watts or one-thousandth of a watt. Milliwatts measure laser pointer power (1-5 mW), wireless signal strength (WiFi: 30-100 mW), LED indicator lights, and low-power electronics. Bluetooth devices typically transmit at 1-100 mW.
