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.

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.
