Convert Kilocalorie per Hour to Milliwatt

Input the number of kilocalories per hour you want to convert to milliwatts.

1 kcal/h (kilocalories per hour) = 1.163e-6 mW (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

milliwatts = kilocalories per hour ÷ 859845.22786

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 kcal/h to milliwatts:

1
Convert 5 kcal/h to milliwatts

We need to convert kilocalories per hour to milliwatts

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 mW = 859845.22786 kcal/h, divide by 859845.22786

5 ÷ 859845.22786 = 5.815e-6

Answer

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.
