Calorie (Th)/second
Calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which thermal calories are transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie (th), or thermochemical calorie, was historically used to quantify energy in thermodynamics and nutrition. Its use in power measurement, such as cal(th)/s, emerged in scientific contexts to express thermal energy transfer rates before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/s is rarely used in scientific practice, having been largely replaced by watts (W). It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
Dekawatt
A dekawatt (daW) is a unit of power equal to 10 watts.
History/Origin
The dekawatt was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes for larger units of power, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts, but it is not widely adopted in everyday use.
Current Use
The dekawatt is rarely used in modern practice; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or kilowatts. It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
