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.
Kilojoule per Hour (kJ/h)
Definition
Kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one kilojoule per hour. It provides a convenient scale for moderate power measurements in energy system analysis and thermal applications.
History
Kilojoule per hour developed as a practical unit for energy system analysis and thermal calculations. It provided an appropriate scale for describing power in terms of energy per time, particularly useful in heating and cooling system analysis.
Current Use
Kilojoule per hour is used in energy system analysis, thermal calculations, and heating/cooling applications. It's found in energy efficiency calculations, thermal system design, and applications where energy rates are more intuitive than electrical power units.
