Megaton
A megaton (Mton) is a unit of energy equivalent to one million tons of TNT, commonly used to measure the energy released in nuclear explosions and large-scale explosions.
History/Origin
The megaton originated during the development of nuclear weapons to quantify explosive yield, with the first use in the context of nuclear tests in the mid-20th century. It became a standard measure for describing the destructive power of nuclear devices.
Current Use
Today, the megaton is primarily used to describe the explosive yield of nuclear weapons and large-scale explosions, as well as in scientific research related to energy release and impact assessments.
Ton-Hour (Refrigeration)
A ton-hour (ton*h) is a unit of energy representing the amount of cooling provided by one ton of refrigeration over one hour.
History/Origin
The ton-hour originated from the refrigeration industry, where the 'ton' is a unit of cooling capacity, and the hour indicates the duration. It has been used historically to quantify cooling energy consumption and capacity.
Current Use
Today, the ton-hour is used in HVAC and refrigeration systems to measure cooling energy consumption, system capacity, and performance over specific periods.
