Kilojoule/minute
A kilojoule per minute (kJ/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in kilojoules transferred or converted per minute.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per minute has been used as a unit of power in various scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields where energy transfer rates are measured over time, though it is less common than watts. Its usage has been consistent with the adoption of the SI system, where energy is measured in joules and power in watts.
Current Use
Today, the kilojoule per minute is primarily used in specialized fields such as nutrition, physics, and engineering to express energy transfer rates, particularly when dealing with larger quantities of energy over time, although the watt remains the standard SI unit for power.
Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
