Unit Description
Metric Horsepower (PS)
Definition
Metric horsepower (PS) is a unit of power equal to 75 kilogram-force meters per second, approximately 735.5 watts. It's the metric equivalent of horsepower, used primarily in European automotive and mechanical applications.
History
Metric horsepower was developed as a metric alternative to the imperial horsepower unit. It became standard in European automotive and mechanical industries, providing a power unit consistent with metric measurements while maintaining familiarity with the horsepower concept.
Current Use
Metric horsepower is used in European automotive specifications, mechanical equipment ratings, and industrial machinery. It's standard for European car engine ratings, machinery specifications, and mechanical power systems in metric countries.
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.
