Terajoule/second
A terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillion joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The terajoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'tera' indicating a factor of 10^12. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very high power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production.
Current Use
TJ/s is used to quantify extremely high power outputs, such as in large-scale energy systems, astrophysical phenomena, and nuclear reactions, where conventional units like watts are insufficient to express the magnitude.
Btu (It)/second
Btu per second (Btu/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one British thermal unit (Btu) is transferred or converted every second.
History/Origin
The Btu (British thermal unit) has been used historically to measure energy, especially in heating and cooling industries. The use of Btu per second as a power unit emerged to quantify energy transfer rates in engineering and scientific contexts, aligning with the broader adoption of the Btu in energy measurement.
Current Use
Btu/s is used primarily in engineering and energy industries to specify power levels, such as in heating, cooling, and energy transfer systems, although it is less common than SI units like watts.
