Calorie (Th)/minute
A calorie (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the amount of heat energy in calories (thermochemical) transferred or used per minute.
History/Origin
The calorie (th)/minute has been used historically in thermodynamics and nutrition to quantify heat transfer rates, especially before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit of power.
Current Use
Today, the calorie (th)/minute is rarely used in scientific contexts, having been largely replaced by the watt; however, it may still appear in specialized fields or legacy data related to heat transfer and energy consumption.
Petajoule/second
A petajoule per second (PJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one petajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The petajoule (PJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power in terms of energy per unit time has been fundamental in physics, with the watt (W) as the SI base unit. The petajoule per second emerged as a large-scale unit for high-energy power measurements, especially in fields like energy production and scientific research.
Current Use
Petajoule per second is used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify extremely high power levels, such as in nuclear energy, large-scale power generation, and astrophysics. It is also used in theoretical and large-scale energy calculations where conventional units like watts are insufficient.
