Calorie (Th)/hour
Calorie per hour (cal(th)/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of heat energy in calories transferred or used per hour.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and physics. The 'th' denotes the thermochemical calorie, an older standard. The unit cal(th)/h has been used historically in thermodynamics and heat transfer measurements.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/h is rarely used in modern scientific contexts, having been largely replaced by SI units like watts. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specialized fields involving heat transfer calculations.
Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
