Femtowatt
A femtowatt (fW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-15 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The femtowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very small quantities of power, particularly in scientific and technological contexts, gaining recognition as the need to quantify minute power levels grew.
Current Use
Femtowatts are used in fields such as quantum physics, nanotechnology, and optical measurements, where precise measurement of extremely low power levels is required.
Kilocalorie (Th)/minute
Kilocalorie (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the energy in kilocalories (thermochemical) transferred or consumed per minute.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (th) is a traditional unit used to measure energy, especially in nutrition and thermodynamics, with its use dating back to early calorimetry. The per-minute notation indicates a rate of energy transfer over time.
Current Use
This unit is primarily used in scientific contexts involving thermal energy transfer rates, such as in calorimetry, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications where energy flow is measured in kilocalories per minute.
