Decijoule/second
A decijoule per second (dJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one-tenth of a joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The decijoule is a decimal submultiple of the joule, introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate measurements at smaller scales. Its usage in power calculations, such as decijoules per second, has been consistent with the adoption of SI units, though it is less common in modern practice.
Current Use
Decijoule per second is rarely used in contemporary contexts; power is more commonly expressed in watts (joules per second). When used, it typically appears in specialized scientific or engineering applications requiring fine-grained energy rate measurements at the deci level.
Btu (Th)/hour
Btu (th)/hour is a unit of power that measures the rate of energy transfer, specifically the amount of thermal energy in British thermal units (Btu) delivered or consumed per hour.
History/Origin
The Btu (th)/hour originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy, and has been used primarily in the heating and energy industries to quantify thermal power rates. Its usage dates back to the early 20th century as a standard measure in thermal energy calculations.
Current Use
Today, Btu (th)/hour is used mainly in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry, as well as in energy consumption and efficiency assessments, to specify thermal power rates of equipment and systems.
