Kilocalorie (Th)/hour
A kilocalorie (th)/hour (kcal(th)/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories per hour is transferred or converted.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adapted into various units including the thermochemical kilocalorie (kcal(th)). Its use in power measurement, such as kcal(th)/h, is primarily for specialized scientific and engineering applications, integrating energy units with time to express power.
Current Use
The kcal(th)/h unit is used in contexts requiring the measurement of energy transfer rates in thermochemical terms, such as in thermal engineering, calorimetry, and energy efficiency assessments where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
Btu (Th)/second
Btu (th)/second is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically one British thermal unit (th) per second.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (th) has been used historically in the United States for measuring heat energy, and its use in power units like Btu (th)/s dates back to traditional energy and heat transfer calculations in engineering and thermodynamics.
Current Use
Btu (th)/second is primarily used in the United States for industrial and engineering applications involving heat transfer rates, although it is less common compared to SI units like watts.
