Attojoule/second
An attojoule per second (aJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion of one attojoule (10^-18 joules) per second.
History/Origin
The attojoule is a relatively recent SI prefix introduced to measure extremely small quantities of energy, and its use in power units like aJ/s has emerged with advancements in nanotechnology and quantum physics, though it remains a specialized unit with limited historical usage.
Current Use
The aJ/s is used in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics, nanotechnology, and energy transfer studies at the atomic or molecular scale.
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.
