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.
Hectojoule/second
Hectojoule per second (hJ/s) is a unit of power representing one hundred joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The unit hJ/s is derived from the SI unit joule (J) and the metric prefix hecto- (h), used to express larger quantities of energy transfer rate, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts. It has been used as an alternative to watts in certain fields, though watts are more standard.
Current Use
Hectojoule per second is occasionally used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify power, especially in contexts where larger energy transfer rates are involved. However, the watt (W) remains the standard SI unit for power, and hJ/s is less common in everyday use.
