Btu (It)/hour
Btu (IT)/hour (Btu/h) is a unit of power that measures the rate of energy transfer, specifically the amount of British thermal units (IT) transferred per hour.
History/Origin
The Btu (IT) originated from the British thermal unit used in the United States and was standardized for industrial and engineering purposes. The per-hour notation became common in applications requiring power measurement, especially in heating and cooling systems.
Current Use
Btu/h is widely used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industries to specify the capacity of heating and cooling equipment, as well as in energy analysis and thermodynamics.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
