Kilowatt
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption.
History/Origin
The kilowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a practical unit for measuring larger power outputs, especially in engineering and electrical contexts, and has been widely adopted since the 20th century.
Current Use
The kilowatt is commonly used today to specify the power output of engines, electrical appliances, and power generation facilities, as well as in billing for electricity consumption and capacity ratings.
Kilocalorie (Th)/minute
Kilocalorie (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the energy in kilocalories (thermochemical) transferred or consumed per minute.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (th) is a traditional unit used to measure energy, especially in nutrition and thermodynamics, with its use dating back to early calorimetry. The per-minute notation indicates a rate of energy transfer over time.
Current Use
This unit is primarily used in scientific contexts involving thermal energy transfer rates, such as in calorimetry, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications where energy flow is measured in kilocalories per minute.
