Terawatt
A terawatt (TW) is a unit of power equal to one trillion watts (10^12 watts).
History/Origin
The term 'terawatt' was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify extremely large power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production, gaining prominence in the 20th century with advancements in large-scale energy and power measurement.
Current Use
Terawatts are used to describe the total power output of large-scale energy sources, such as the total global power consumption, solar radiation received by Earth, and astrophysical phenomena.
Btu (Th)/minute
Btu (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically in thermochemical British thermal units per minute.
History/Origin
The Btu (th)/minute originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy used primarily in the United States, with the 'th' denoting the thermochemical definition. It has been used historically in engineering and heating applications to quantify energy transfer rates.
Current Use
Today, Btu (th)/minute is used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industries to measure heat transfer rates, though it is less common than SI units like watts. It remains relevant in contexts where traditional energy units are preferred.
