Unit Description

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.

Hectowatt (hW)

Definition

A hectowatt (hW) is a unit of power equal to one hundred watts (10² W). It represents moderate power levels found in small appliances, lighting systems, and medium-scale electrical equipment.

History

The hectowatt developed as part of the metric system's decimal structure, providing an intermediate unit between kilowatts and watts. It became useful for describing power consumption of small appliances and lighting systems where watts would be large numbers.

Current Use

Hectowatts are used for small appliance ratings, lighting system specifications, and medium-scale electrical equipment. They're found in specifications for small motors, lighting installations, and electrical systems requiring moderate power levels.
