Megajoule/second
A megajoule per second (MJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one megajoule of energy transferred or converted per second, where 1 megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify large-scale power, especially in fields like physics and energy systems, as a convenient unit for expressing high power levels. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second).
Current Use
Today, MJ/s is primarily used in scientific research, energy production, and engineering to describe high power outputs, such as in power plants, large-scale energy systems, and theoretical calculations involving energy transfer rates.
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.
