Btu (Th)/minute
Btu (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically in thermochemical British thermal units per minute.
History/Origin
The Btu (th)/minute originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy used primarily in the United States, with the 'th' denoting the thermochemical definition. It has been used historically in engineering and heating applications to quantify energy transfer rates.
Current Use
Today, Btu (th)/minute is used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industries to measure heat transfer rates, though it is less common than SI units like watts. It remains relevant in contexts where traditional energy units are preferred.
Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
