Calorie (Th)/minute
A calorie (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the amount of heat energy in calories (thermochemical) transferred or used per minute.
History/Origin
The calorie (th)/minute has been used historically in thermodynamics and nutrition to quantify heat transfer rates, especially before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit of power.
Current Use
Today, the calorie (th)/minute is rarely used in scientific contexts, having been largely replaced by the watt; however, it may still appear in specialized fields or legacy data related to heat transfer and energy consumption.
Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
