Kilocalorie (It)/second
A kilocalorie per second (kcal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and thermodynamics, has been a standard unit of energy measurement. Its use in power calculations, such as kcal/s, emerged in contexts requiring energy transfer rates, though it is less common than SI units like watts.
Current Use
Kcal/s is primarily used in specialized fields like thermodynamics and calorimetry to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in contexts involving heat transfer and energy consumption, though it is less prevalent than SI units.
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.
