Attojoule/second
An attojoule per second (aJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion of one attojoule (10^-18 joules) per second.
History/Origin
The attojoule is a relatively recent SI prefix introduced to measure extremely small quantities of energy, and its use in power units like aJ/s has emerged with advancements in nanotechnology and quantum physics, though it remains a specialized unit with limited historical usage.
Current Use
The aJ/s is used in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics, nanotechnology, and energy transfer studies at the atomic or molecular scale.
Btu (Th)/second
Btu (th)/second is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically one British thermal unit (th) per second.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (th) has been used historically in the United States for measuring heat energy, and its use in power units like Btu (th)/s dates back to traditional energy and heat transfer calculations in engineering and thermodynamics.
Current Use
Btu (th)/second is primarily used in the United States for industrial and engineering applications involving heat transfer rates, although it is less common compared to SI units like watts.
