Microjoule/second
The microjoule per second (µJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one microjoule equals 10^-6 joules, transferred per second.
History/Origin
The microjoule per second originated from the need to measure very small power levels in scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields like electronics and nanotechnology, as a scaled-down unit of the watt (joule per second).
Current Use
It is used in applications requiring precise measurement of low power levels, such as in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), sensor technology, and research involving minute energy transfers.
Kilojoule/minute
A kilojoule per minute (kJ/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in kilojoules transferred or converted per minute.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per minute has been used as a unit of power in various scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields where energy transfer rates are measured over time, though it is less common than watts. Its usage has been consistent with the adoption of the SI system, where energy is measured in joules and power in watts.
Current Use
Today, the kilojoule per minute is primarily used in specialized fields such as nutrition, physics, and engineering to express energy transfer rates, particularly when dealing with larger quantities of energy over time, although the watt remains the standard SI unit for power.
