Calorie (It)/minute
Calorie per minute (cal/min) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per minute.
History/Origin
The calorie has been used historically in nutrition and energy measurement, with the 'calorie per minute' emerging as a unit to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in contexts like exercise and metabolic studies.
Current Use
Calorie per minute is used in fields such as sports science, physiology, and energy expenditure analysis to measure the rate of caloric energy transfer or consumption over time.
Kilocalorie (It)/minute
A unit of power representing the energy expended or transferred at a rate of one kilocalorie per minute.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (kcal) has historically been used to measure energy in food and nutrition, while the minute as a time unit has been standard in timekeeping. Combining these, kcal/min was used to quantify power, especially in contexts like metabolic rates and energy expenditure, before the widespread adoption of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
The kcal/min is primarily used in fields such as physiology and sports science to express rates of energy expenditure, though it is less common today with the adoption of the watt (W) as the standard SI unit of power.
