Joule
The joule (J) is the SI unit of energy, work, and heat, defined as the work done when a force of one newton acts over a distance of one meter.
History/Origin
The joule was named after James Prescott Joule in 1889 to honor his work in energy and thermodynamics. It was adopted as the SI unit of energy in 1948.
Current Use
The joule is widely used in physics, engineering, and everyday contexts to quantify energy, work, and heat in various applications, including electricity, mechanics, and thermodynamics.
Ton-Hour (Refrigeration)
A ton-hour (ton*h) is a unit of energy representing the amount of cooling provided by one ton of refrigeration over one hour.
History/Origin
The ton-hour originated from the refrigeration industry, where the 'ton' is a unit of cooling capacity, and the hour indicates the duration. It has been used historically to quantify cooling energy consumption and capacity.
Current Use
Today, the ton-hour is used in HVAC and refrigeration systems to measure cooling energy consumption, system capacity, and performance over specific periods.
