Calorie (It)/minute
Calorie per minute (cal/min) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per minute.
History/Origin
The calorie has been used historically in nutrition and energy measurement, with the 'calorie per minute' emerging as a unit to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in contexts like exercise and metabolic studies.
Current Use
Calorie per minute is used in fields such as sports science, physiology, and energy expenditure analysis to measure the rate of caloric energy transfer or consumption over time.
Calorie (Th)/second
Calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which thermal calories are transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie (th), or thermochemical calorie, was historically used to quantify energy in thermodynamics and nutrition. Its use in power measurement, such as cal(th)/s, emerged in scientific contexts to express thermal energy transfer rates before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/s is rarely used in scientific practice, having been largely replaced by watts (W). It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
