-
Users must consider differences between various calorie definitions
-
Calorie (IT) is less common in modern SI-based power measurement, limiting contemporary use
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does exajoule/second measure?
-
Exajoule/second measures a very large power unit representing energy flow of 10^18 joules every second, commonly used to describe planetary or astrophysical energy rates.
-
Why convert EJ/s to calorie (IT)/second?
-
Converting EJ/s to calorie (IT)/second helps express large-scale power values in terms of thermal energy units used historically or in calorimetry.
-
Is calorie (IT)/second commonly used today?
-
Calorie (IT)/second is an older unit less frequently used in modern SI-based thermal power measurements, but remains relevant in certain technical or historical contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Exajoule/second (EJ/s)
-
A unit of power representing an energy flow of 10^18 joules per second, equivalent to one exawatt.
-
Calorie (IT)/second (cal/s)
-
A power unit corresponding to the energy transfer rate of one International Table calorie per second, used historically for thermal power.
-
Power
-
The rate at which energy is transferred or converted per unit time.
