Kilocalorie (Th)/hour
A kilocalorie (th)/hour (kcal(th)/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories per hour is transferred or converted.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adapted into various units including the thermochemical kilocalorie (kcal(th)). Its use in power measurement, such as kcal(th)/h, is primarily for specialized scientific and engineering applications, integrating energy units with time to express power.
Current Use
The kcal(th)/h unit is used in contexts requiring the measurement of energy transfer rates in thermochemical terms, such as in thermal engineering, calorimetry, and energy efficiency assessments where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
Horsepower (Electric)
Electric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power used to measure the rate at which electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy or work, equivalent to approximately 746 watts.
History/Origin
The electric horsepower was developed as an adaptation of the mechanical horsepower to quantify electrical power output, especially in electric motors and generators. It became a standard unit in electrical engineering to express the power of electric motors and appliances.
Current Use
Electric horsepower is used primarily in specifying the power of electric motors, generators, and other electrical devices, particularly in industries where electrical power measurement is essential for performance and efficiency assessments.
