Kilocalorie (Th)/second
A kilocalorie (th)/second (kcal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories per second is transferred or converted.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (th) is a traditional unit of energy used primarily in nutrition and thermodynamics, with 'th' indicating the thermochemical definition. Its use in power measurements, such as kcal(th)/s, is less common and primarily for specialized scientific contexts.
Current Use
The unit kcal(th)/s is rarely used in modern practice; power is more commonly expressed in watts. When used, it typically appears in scientific research involving energy transfer rates in thermochemical processes or specialized engineering applications.
Millijoule/second
A millijoule per second (mJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one millijoule of energy transferred or converted every second.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the joule, the SI unit of energy, and the second, the SI unit of time. It has been used in contexts requiring small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering applications, with the millijoule being a submultiple of the joule.
Current Use
Millijoule per second is used to measure small power levels in scientific experiments, electronics, and other fields where precise, small-scale power measurement is necessary, often within the context of energy transfer or consumption rates.
