Calorie (It)/minute
Calorie per minute (cal/min) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per minute.
History/Origin
The calorie has been used historically in nutrition and energy measurement, with the 'calorie per minute' emerging as a unit to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in contexts like exercise and metabolic studies.
Current Use
Calorie per minute is used in fields such as sports science, physiology, and energy expenditure analysis to measure the rate of caloric energy transfer or consumption over time.
Kilojoule/hour
A kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in kilojoules transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per hour has been used as a measure of power in contexts where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, particularly in engineering and scientific applications, though it is less common than standard SI units like watts.
Current Use
kJ/h is used in specific fields such as thermodynamics and energy management to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in systems where energy is measured in kilojoules and the rate is expressed per hour, though it is often converted to watts for standardization.
