Btu (Th)/hour
Btu (th)/hour is a unit of power that measures the rate of energy transfer, specifically the amount of thermal energy in British thermal units (Btu) delivered or consumed per hour.
History/Origin
The Btu (th)/hour originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy, and has been used primarily in the heating and energy industries to quantify thermal power rates. Its usage dates back to the early 20th century as a standard measure in thermal energy calculations.
Current Use
Today, Btu (th)/hour is used mainly in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry, as well as in energy consumption and efficiency assessments, to specify thermal power rates of equipment and systems.
Kilocalorie (Th)/hour
A kilocalorie (th)/hour (kcal(th)/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories per hour is transferred or converted.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adapted into various units including the thermochemical kilocalorie (kcal(th)). Its use in power measurement, such as kcal(th)/h, is primarily for specialized scientific and engineering applications, integrating energy units with time to express power.
Current Use
The kcal(th)/h unit is used in contexts requiring the measurement of energy transfer rates in thermochemical terms, such as in thermal engineering, calorimetry, and energy efficiency assessments where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
