Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
Mbtu (It)/hour
MBtu/h (Million British thermal units per hour) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption, particularly in heating, cooling, and energy industries.
History/Origin
The MBtu/h unit originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy, with the 'Million' prefix indicating a large-scale measurement. It has been used primarily in the United States and industry contexts to quantify energy flow rates in power and energy systems.
Current Use
Today, MBtu/h is used in the energy sector to specify heating and cooling capacities, energy production rates, and power consumption in industrial and commercial applications, especially where large-scale thermal energy transfer is involved.
