Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
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.
