Microwatt
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt, used to measure very small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The microwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to provide standardized units for small quantities of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, gaining prominence with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microwatts are used in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering to quantify low power levels in devices, sensors, and circuits.
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.
