Calorie (Th)/second
Calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which thermal calories are transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie (th), or thermochemical calorie, was historically used to quantify energy in thermodynamics and nutrition. Its use in power measurement, such as cal(th)/s, emerged in scientific contexts to express thermal energy transfer rates before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/s is rarely used in scientific practice, having been largely replaced by watts (W). It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
Millijoule/second
A millijoule per second (mJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one millijoule of energy transferred or converted every second.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the joule, the SI unit of energy, and the second, the SI unit of time. It has been used in contexts requiring small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering applications, with the millijoule being a submultiple of the joule.
Current Use
Millijoule per second is used to measure small power levels in scientific experiments, electronics, and other fields where precise, small-scale power measurement is necessary, often within the context of energy transfer or consumption rates.
