Calorie (It)/hour
Calorie per hour (cal/h) is a unit of power that measures the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or consumed over time.
History/Origin
The calorie has been used historically in nutrition and thermodynamics to quantify energy. The cal/h unit emerged in contexts where energy transfer rates were expressed in calories per hour, particularly in heating and metabolic studies.
Current Use
Cal/h is used in specific scientific and engineering applications, such as measuring heat transfer rates, metabolic rates, and in some thermal engineering contexts, although it is less common than SI units like watts.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
