Kilojoule/minute
A kilojoule per minute (kJ/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in kilojoules transferred or converted per minute.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per minute has been used as a unit of power in various scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields where energy transfer rates are measured over time, though it is less common than watts. Its usage has been consistent with the adoption of the SI system, where energy is measured in joules and power in watts.
Current Use
Today, the kilojoule per minute is primarily used in specialized fields such as nutrition, physics, and engineering to express energy transfer rates, particularly when dealing with larger quantities of energy over time, although the watt remains the standard SI unit for power.
Mbtu (It)/hour
MBtu/h (Million British thermal units per hour) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption, particularly in heating, cooling, and energy industries.
History/Origin
The MBtu/h unit originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy, with the 'Million' prefix indicating a large-scale measurement. It has been used primarily in the United States and industry contexts to quantify energy flow rates in power and energy systems.
Current Use
Today, MBtu/h is used in the energy sector to specify heating and cooling capacities, energy production rates, and power consumption in industrial and commercial applications, especially where large-scale thermal energy transfer is involved.
