Picojoule/second
A picojoule per second (pJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillionth of a joule per second, representing an extremely small rate of energy transfer.
History/Origin
The picojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'pico' denoting a factor of 10^-12. It has been used in scientific contexts requiring precise measurement of very small power levels, especially in fields like nanotechnology and low-power electronics.
Current Use
This unit is used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify extremely low power levels, such as in nanotechnology, bioelectronics, and other fields where minute energy transfer rates are relevant.
Horsepower (Water)
Horsepower (water) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of water flow or energy transfer, based on the power exerted by a water stream.
History/Origin
The water horsepower originated in the 19th century as a way to quantify the power of water wheels and turbines, with its value historically linked to the energy produced by a specific flow of water under certain conditions.
Current Use
Today, water horsepower is primarily used in hydraulic engineering and water power industries to specify the capacity of water turbines, pumps, and other hydraulic equipment.
