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.
Microwatt (µW)
Definition
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt (10⁻⁶ W). It represents extremely small amounts of power found in ultra-low-power electronics, biological systems, and precision scientific instruments.
History
The microwatt became necessary with the advancement of microelectronics and the development of ultra-low-power devices. It was particularly important for describing power consumption in integrated circuits, sensors, and biological measurement systems.
Current Use
Microwatts are used in microelectronics, biological research, precision instruments, and ultra-low-power applications. They're essential for describing power consumption in microprocessors, biological sensors, and advanced scientific equipment.
