Nanojoule/second
A nanojoule per second (nJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one nanojoule of energy per second.
History/Origin
The nanojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'nano' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It is used in contexts requiring very small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering fields.
Current Use
The nJ/s is used in scientific research, nanotechnology, and precise energy transfer measurements where extremely low power levels are involved, often in the context of nanoscale systems or experiments.
Btu (It)/minute
Btu (IT)/minute is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically in British thermal units per minute.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (Btu) has been used historically in the United States and the UK to measure heat energy. The 'IT' designation refers to the International Table value of the Btu. The unit per minute was adopted to quantify power, which is energy transfer rate, in various engineering and thermodynamic contexts.
Current Use
Btu (IT)/minute is used in engineering, HVAC, and thermodynamics to measure heat transfer rates, especially in systems where energy flow is expressed per unit time. It is part of power conversions within the broader category of common energy and power units.
