Watt
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, defined as one joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The watt was named after James Watt, the Scottish engineer and inventor, in 1889. It was adopted as the SI unit of power to standardize measurements in science and engineering.
Current Use
The watt is widely used today to quantify power in electrical devices, engines, and energy consumption, serving as a fundamental unit in physics, engineering, and everyday applications.
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.
