Btu (Th)/hour
Btu (th)/hour is a unit of power that measures the rate of energy transfer, specifically the amount of thermal energy in British thermal units (Btu) delivered or consumed per hour.
History/Origin
The Btu (th)/hour originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy, and has been used primarily in the heating and energy industries to quantify thermal power rates. Its usage dates back to the early 20th century as a standard measure in thermal energy calculations.
Current Use
Today, Btu (th)/hour is used mainly in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry, as well as in energy consumption and efficiency assessments, to specify thermal power rates of equipment and systems.
Megajoule/second
A megajoule per second (MJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one megajoule of energy transferred or converted per second, where 1 megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify large-scale power, especially in fields like physics and energy systems, as a convenient unit for expressing high power levels. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second).
Current Use
Today, MJ/s is primarily used in scientific research, energy production, and engineering to describe high power outputs, such as in power plants, large-scale energy systems, and theoretical calculations involving energy transfer rates.
