Convert exawatt to kilocalorie (th)/hour
Please provide values below to convert exawatt [EW] to kilocalorie (th)/hour [kcal(th)/h], or Convert kilocalorie (th)/hour to exawatt.
How to Convert Exawatt to Kilocalorie (Th)/hour
1 EW = 8.60420651740766e+17 kcal(th)/h
Example: convert 15 EW to kcal(th)/h:
15 EW = 15 × 8.60420651740766e+17 kcal(th)/h = 1.29063097761115e+19 kcal(th)/h

Exawatt
An exawatt (EW) is a unit of power equal to 10^18 watts.
History/Origin
The exawatt is part of the SI prefix system, introduced to represent extremely large power quantities, especially in theoretical physics and astrophysics, as the need to express vast energy outputs grew.
Current Use
Exawatts are primarily used in scientific contexts to describe the power output of large-scale phenomena such as stars and cosmic events; they are rarely used in everyday measurements.
Kilocalorie (Th)/hour
A kilocalorie (th)/hour (kcal(th)/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories per hour is transferred or converted.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adapted into various units including the thermochemical kilocalorie (kcal(th)). Its use in power measurement, such as kcal(th)/h, is primarily for specialized scientific and engineering applications, integrating energy units with time to express power.
Current Use
The kcal(th)/h unit is used in contexts requiring the measurement of energy transfer rates in thermochemical terms, such as in thermal engineering, calorimetry, and energy efficiency assessments where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
