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 It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
Kilocalorie (Th)/hour
A kilocalorie (th)/hour (kcal(th)/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories per hour is transferred or converted.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adapted into various units including the thermochemical kilocalorie (kcal(th)). Its use in power measurement, such as kcal(th)/h, is primarily for specialized scientific and engineering applications, integrating energy units with time to express power.
Current Use
The kcal(th)/h unit is used in contexts requiring the measurement of energy transfer rates in thermochemical terms, such as in thermal engineering, calorimetry, and energy efficiency assessments where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
