Unit Description

Kilocalorie per Hour (kcal/h)

Definition

Kilocalorie per hour (kcal/h) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one kilocalorie per hour. It's commonly used in heating and cooling applications, providing a practical scale for thermal power measurements.

History

Kilocalorie per hour became important in heating and cooling system design, providing a convenient scale for thermal power measurements. It was particularly useful in applications where thermal energy rates needed to be expressed in familiar calorie-based units.

Current Use

Kilocalorie per hour is used in heating and cooling systems, thermal equipment ratings, and energy efficiency calculations. It's standard for thermal system specifications, heating equipment ratings, and applications where thermal power is measured in calorie-based units.

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.
