Btu (Th)/minute
Btu (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically in thermochemical British thermal units per minute.
History/Origin
The Btu (th)/minute originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy used primarily in the United States, with the 'th' denoting the thermochemical definition. It has been used historically in engineering and heating applications to quantify energy transfer rates.
Current Use
Today, Btu (th)/minute is used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industries to measure heat transfer rates, though it is less common than SI units like watts. It remains relevant in contexts where traditional energy units are preferred.
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.
