Btu (Th)/minute
Btu (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically in thermochemical British thermal units per minute.
History/Origin
The Btu (th)/minute originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy used primarily in the United States, with the 'th' denoting the thermochemical definition. It has been used historically in engineering and heating applications to quantify energy transfer rates.
Current Use
Today, Btu (th)/minute is used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industries to measure heat transfer rates, though it is less common than SI units like watts. It remains relevant in contexts where traditional energy units are preferred.
Kilovolt Ampere
A kilovolt ampere (kV·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, equal to 1,000 volt-amperes, representing the product of voltage in kilovolts and current in amperes.
History/Origin
The kilovolt ampere emerged as a standard unit for measuring apparent power in electrical engineering, especially with the adoption of the SI system, to quantify the capacity of electrical equipment such as transformers and generators.
Current Use
Today, the kilovolt ampere is widely used in power systems to specify the capacity of electrical devices, particularly in the context of transformers, generators, and power distribution systems, facilitating the design and analysis of electrical networks.
