Unit Description

BTU per Minute (BTU/min)

Definition

BTU per minute (BTU/min) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one British Thermal Unit per minute. It provides an intermediate scale between BTU per second and BTU per hour for thermal power measurements.

History

BTU per minute developed as an intermediate unit for thermal power measurements, providing a convenient scale between the very large BTU per second and the smaller BTU per hour. It became useful for medium-scale thermal applications and equipment ratings.

Current Use

BTU per minute is used in thermal equipment specifications, heating and cooling system ratings, and medium-scale thermal applications. It's found in thermal equipment ratings, industrial heating systems, and applications requiring intermediate thermal power scales.

Calorie per Second (cal/s)

Definition

Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one calorie per second. It's used in thermodynamic applications and provides a direct relationship between thermal energy and power.

History

Calorie per second developed with early thermodynamic studies and calorimetry. It provided a way to express power in terms of thermal energy units, particularly useful in heat transfer calculations and thermal system analysis.

Current Use

Calorie per second is used in thermodynamics, heat transfer calculations, and thermal system design. It's found in calorimetry, thermal analysis, and applications where thermal energy rates are more intuitive than electrical power units.
