Calorie (Th)/hour
Calorie per hour (cal(th)/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of heat energy in calories transferred or used per hour.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and physics. The 'th' denotes the thermochemical calorie, an older standard. The unit cal(th)/h has been used historically in thermodynamics and heat transfer measurements.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/h is rarely used in modern scientific contexts, having been largely replaced by SI units like watts. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specialized fields involving heat transfer calculations.
Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
