Picojoule/second
A picojoule per second (pJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillionth of a joule per second, representing an extremely small rate of energy transfer.
History/Origin
The picojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'pico' denoting a factor of 10^-12. It has been used in scientific contexts requiring precise measurement of very small power levels, especially in fields like nanotechnology and low-power electronics.
Current Use
This unit is used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify extremely low power levels, such as in nanotechnology, bioelectronics, and other fields where minute energy transfer rates are relevant.
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.
