Btu (Th)/second
Btu (th)/second is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically one British thermal unit (th) per second.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (th) has been used historically in the United States for measuring heat energy, and its use in power units like Btu (th)/s dates back to traditional energy and heat transfer calculations in engineering and thermodynamics.
Current Use
Btu (th)/second is primarily used in the United States for industrial and engineering applications involving heat transfer rates, although it is less common compared to SI units like watts.
Decijoule/second
A decijoule per second (dJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one-tenth of a joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The decijoule is a decimal submultiple of the joule, introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate measurements at smaller scales. Its usage in power calculations, such as decijoules per second, has been consistent with the adoption of SI units, though it is less common in modern practice.
Current Use
Decijoule per second is rarely used in contemporary contexts; power is more commonly expressed in watts (joules per second). When used, it typically appears in specialized scientific or engineering applications requiring fine-grained energy rate measurements at the deci level.
