Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a microjoule per second (µJ/s)?
-
A microjoule per second is a power unit equal to the transfer of one microjoule of energy every second, representing very small power levels commonly used in electronics and photonics.
-
Where is Btu (IT)/hour commonly used?
-
Btu (IT)/hour is typically used to express heat transfer rates in HVAC systems, heating equipment, and thermal system design.
-
Why convert power from µJ/s to Btu (IT)/hour?
-
This conversion helps translate very small power measurements into units relevant for heating and cooling system design and analysis.
