Calorie (Th)/minute
A calorie (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the amount of heat energy in calories (thermochemical) transferred or used per minute.
History/Origin
The calorie (th)/minute has been used historically in thermodynamics and nutrition to quantify heat transfer rates, especially before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit of power.
Current Use
Today, the calorie (th)/minute is rarely used in scientific contexts, having been largely replaced by the watt; however, it may still appear in specialized fields or legacy data related to heat transfer and energy consumption.
Btu (It)/minute
Btu (IT)/minute is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically in British thermal units per minute.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (Btu) has been used historically in the United States and the UK to measure heat energy. The 'IT' designation refers to the International Table value of the Btu. The unit per minute was adopted to quantify power, which is energy transfer rate, in various engineering and thermodynamic contexts.
Current Use
Btu (IT)/minute is used in engineering, HVAC, and thermodynamics to measure heat transfer rates, especially in systems where energy flow is expressed per unit time. It is part of power conversions within the broader category of common energy and power units.
