How to Convert Joule/minute to Petajoule/second
1 J/min = 1.6666667e-17 PJ/s
Example: convert 15 J/min to PJ/s:
15 J/min = 15 × 1.6666667e-17 PJ/s = 2.50000005e-16 PJ/s

Joule/minute
Joule per minute (J/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in joules transferred or converted per minute.
History/Origin
The joule per minute has been used as a measure of power in various engineering and scientific contexts, especially where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, though it is less common than watts.
Current Use
J/min is used in specific applications such as industrial processes, heating systems, and other scenarios where power is measured over a minute, but it is generally converted to watts for standardization in scientific and technical fields.
Petajoule/second
A petajoule per second (PJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one petajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The petajoule (PJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power in terms of energy per unit time has been fundamental in physics, with the watt (W) as the SI base unit. The petajoule per second emerged as a large-scale unit for high-energy power measurements, especially in fields like energy production and scientific research.
Current Use
Petajoule per second is used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify extremely high power levels, such as in nuclear energy, large-scale power generation, and astrophysics. It is also used in theoretical and large-scale energy calculations where conventional units like watts are insufficient.
