Btu (It)/second
Btu per second (Btu/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one British thermal unit (Btu) is transferred or converted every second.
History/Origin
The Btu (British thermal unit) has been used historically to measure energy, especially in heating and cooling industries. The use of Btu per second as a power unit emerged to quantify energy transfer rates in engineering and scientific contexts, aligning with the broader adoption of the Btu in energy measurement.
Current Use
Btu/s is used primarily in engineering and energy industries to specify power levels, such as in heating, cooling, and energy transfer systems, although it is less common than SI units like watts.
Kilojoule/hour
A kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in kilojoules transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per hour has been used as a measure of power in contexts where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, particularly in engineering and scientific applications, though it is less common than standard SI units like watts.
Current Use
kJ/h is used in specific fields such as thermodynamics and energy management to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in systems where energy is measured in kilojoules and the rate is expressed per hour, though it is often converted to watts for standardization.
