Kilocalorie (Th)/minute
Kilocalorie (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the energy in kilocalories (thermochemical) transferred or consumed per minute.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (th) is a traditional unit used to measure energy, especially in nutrition and thermodynamics, with its use dating back to early calorimetry. The per-minute notation indicates a rate of energy transfer over time.
Current Use
This unit is primarily used in scientific contexts involving thermal energy transfer rates, such as in calorimetry, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications where energy flow is measured in kilocalories per minute.
Joule/hour
A joule per hour (J/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy (in joules) transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The joule per hour has been used as a measure of power in various scientific and engineering contexts, especially where energy transfer rates are expressed over longer periods. It is derived from the SI unit of energy, the joule, divided by time in hours.
Current Use
Joule per hour is occasionally used in fields like heating, energy consumption, and industrial processes to quantify power over extended durations, though it is less common than watts for standard power measurements.
