Key Terminology
-
Btu (IT)/minute
-
A unit of power equal to the heat transfer of one international British thermal unit per minute; used in industrial and HVAC thermal power measurements.
-
Millijoule/second (mJ/s)
-
An SI unit of power equal to one thousandth of a joule per second, used primarily for low-power systems and sensitive measurements.
-
Power
-
The rate at which energy is transferred, converted, or emitted per unit time.
