Unit Description
Joule per Second (J/s)
Definition
Joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one joule per second. It's exactly equivalent to the watt and represents the fundamental definition of power as energy per unit time.
History
Joule per second represents the fundamental definition of power and was implicit in early thermodynamic studies. It became formalized with the development of the SI system and provides the direct relationship between energy (joules) and power (watts).
Current Use
Joule per second is primarily used in educational contexts to illustrate the relationship between energy and power. In practical applications, it's equivalent to watts and is used in thermodynamic calculations and energy system analysis.
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.
