Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
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.
