Unit Description

BTU per Second (BTU/s)

Definition

BTU per second (BTU/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one British Thermal Unit per second. It's used in thermal engineering and HVAC applications, particularly in imperial unit systems.

History

BTU per second developed with the British Thermal Unit system and became important in thermal engineering and HVAC applications. It provided a power unit consistent with BTU energy measurements, particularly useful in heating and cooling system design.

Current Use

BTU per second is used in HVAC engineering, thermal system design, and heating/cooling applications. It's standard in imperial unit thermal calculations, boiler specifications, and air conditioning system ratings.

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.
