Decijoule/second
A decijoule per second (dJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one-tenth of a joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The decijoule is a decimal submultiple of the joule, introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate measurements at smaller scales. Its usage in power calculations, such as decijoules per second, has been consistent with the adoption of SI units, though it is less common in modern practice.
Current Use
Decijoule per second is rarely used in contemporary contexts; power is more commonly expressed in watts (joules per second). When used, it typically appears in specialized scientific or engineering applications requiring fine-grained energy rate measurements at the deci level.
Kilojoule/hour
A kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in kilojoules transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per hour has been used as a measure of power in contexts where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, particularly in engineering and scientific applications, though it is less common than standard SI units like watts.
Current Use
kJ/h is used in specific fields such as thermodynamics and energy management to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in systems where energy is measured in kilojoules and the rate is expressed per hour, though it is often converted to watts for standardization.
