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.
Kilojoule/hour
A kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in kilojoules transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per hour has been used as a measure of power in contexts where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, particularly in engineering and scientific applications, though it is less common than standard SI units like watts.
Current Use
kJ/h is used in specific fields such as thermodynamics and energy management to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in systems where energy is measured in kilojoules and the rate is expressed per hour, though it is often converted to watts for standardization.
