Kilocalorie (Th)/minute
Kilocalorie (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the energy in kilocalories (thermochemical) transferred or consumed per minute.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (th) is a traditional unit used to measure energy, especially in nutrition and thermodynamics, with its use dating back to early calorimetry. The per-minute notation indicates a rate of energy transfer over time.
Current Use
This unit is primarily used in scientific contexts involving thermal energy transfer rates, such as in calorimetry, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications where energy flow is measured in kilocalories per minute.
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.
