Unit Description
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.
Volt-Ampere (VA)
Definition
Volt-ampere (VA) is a unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems, representing the product of voltage and current. It differs from watts (real power) in AC systems where voltage and current may not be in phase.
History
Volt-ampere became important with the development of AC electrical systems, where the distinction between apparent power and real power became crucial. It provided a way to specify the total power capacity of AC electrical equipment regardless of power factor.
Current Use
Volt-amperes are used for AC electrical equipment ratings, transformer specifications, and electrical system design. They're standard for UPS ratings, transformer capacity, and AC electrical equipment where apparent power is more relevant than real power.
