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.
Kilocalorie (It)/second
A kilocalorie per second (kcal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and thermodynamics, has been a standard unit of energy measurement. Its use in power calculations, such as kcal/s, emerged in contexts requiring energy transfer rates, though it is less common than SI units like watts.
Current Use
Kcal/s is primarily used in specialized fields like thermodynamics and calorimetry to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in contexts involving heat transfer and energy consumption, though it is less prevalent than SI units.
