Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a calorie (th)/second unit?
-
It measures power based on the transfer of one thermochemical calorie of energy per second, commonly used for heat flow in calorimetry.
-
How does newton meter/second relate to watts?
-
A newton meter per second equals one joule per second, which is defined as one watt, representing mechanical power.
-
Why convert calorie (th)/second to newton meter/second?
-
To translate legacy thermal power units into standard SI mechanical units for consistent engineering and scientific use.
