Calorie (It)/hour

Calorie per hour (cal/h) is a unit of power that measures the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or consumed over time.

History/Origin

The calorie has been used historically in nutrition and thermodynamics to quantify energy. The cal/h unit emerged in contexts where energy transfer rates were expressed in calories per hour, particularly in heating and metabolic studies.

Current Use

Cal/h is used in specific scientific and engineering applications, such as measuring heat transfer rates, metabolic rates, and in some thermal engineering contexts, although it is less common than SI units like watts.


Btu (Th)/second

Btu (th)/second is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically one British thermal unit (th) per second.

History/Origin

The British thermal unit (th) has been used historically in the United States for measuring heat energy, and its use in power units like Btu (th)/s dates back to traditional energy and heat transfer calculations in engineering and thermodynamics.

Current Use

Btu (th)/second is primarily used in the United States for industrial and engineering applications involving heat transfer rates, although it is less common compared to SI units like watts.
