Btu (It)/hour
Btu (IT)/hour (Btu/h) is a unit of power that measures the rate of energy transfer, specifically the amount of British thermal units (IT) transferred per hour.
History/Origin
The Btu (IT) originated from the British thermal unit used in the United States and was standardized for industrial and engineering purposes. The per-hour notation became common in applications requiring power measurement, especially in heating and cooling systems.
Current Use
Btu/h is widely used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industries to specify the capacity of heating and cooling equipment, as well as in energy analysis and thermodynamics.
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.
