Kilocalorie (Th)/second
A kilocalorie (th)/second (kcal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories per second is transferred or converted.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (th) is a traditional unit of energy used primarily in nutrition and thermodynamics, with 'th' indicating the thermochemical definition. Its use in power measurements, such as kcal(th)/s, is less common and primarily for specialized scientific contexts.
Current Use
The unit kcal(th)/s is rarely used in modern practice; power is more commonly expressed in watts. When used, it typically appears in scientific research involving energy transfer rates in thermochemical processes or specialized engineering applications.
Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
