Attojoule/second
An attojoule per second (aJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion of one attojoule (10^-18 joules) per second.
History/Origin
The attojoule is a relatively recent SI prefix introduced to measure extremely small quantities of energy, and its use in power units like aJ/s has emerged with advancements in nanotechnology and quantum physics, though it remains a specialized unit with limited historical usage.
Current Use
The aJ/s is used in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics, nanotechnology, and energy transfer studies at the atomic or molecular scale.
Ton (Refrigeration)
A refrigeration ton is a unit of power used to describe the cooling capacity of air conditioning and refrigeration systems, equivalent to the heat removal of one ton of ice melting in 24 hours.
History/Origin
The refrigeration ton originated in the early 20th century as a practical measure for cooling capacity, based on the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice over a 24-hour period, approximately 12,000 BTU per hour.
Current Use
It is primarily used in HVAC and refrigeration industries to specify the cooling capacity of air conditioning units and chillers, with 1 refrigeration ton equal to 12,000 BTU/h or approximately 3.517 kilowatts.
