Horsepower (Electric)
Electric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power used to measure the rate at which electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy or work, equivalent to approximately 746 watts.
History/Origin
The electric horsepower was developed as an adaptation of the mechanical horsepower to quantify electrical power output, especially in electric motors and generators. It became a standard unit in electrical engineering to express the power of electric motors and appliances.
Current Use
Electric horsepower is used primarily in specifying the power of electric motors, generators, and other electrical devices, particularly in industries where electrical power measurement is essential for performance and efficiency assessments.
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.
