Calorie (Th)/minute
A calorie (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the amount of heat energy in calories (thermochemical) transferred or used per minute.
History/Origin
The calorie (th)/minute has been used historically in thermodynamics and nutrition to quantify heat transfer rates, especially before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit of power.
Current Use
Today, the calorie (th)/minute is rarely used in scientific contexts, having been largely replaced by the watt; however, it may still appear in specialized fields or legacy data related to heat transfer and energy consumption.
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.
