Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does newton meter/second measure?
-
It measures power as the rate of performing work or transferring energy, equivalent to one joule per second or one watt.
-
Why convert to kilocalorie (IT)/minute?
-
This unit expresses energy transfer rates in terms of food energy or thermal energy often used in physiology and small-scale heating applications.
-
Is kilocalorie (IT)/minute suitable for large engineering projects?
-
No, it is less precise for large-scale engineering, where standard SI units like watt are preferred.
Key Terminology
-
Newton meter/second
-
A power unit representing one joule per second, equivalent to a watt, used to measure the rate of work or energy transfer.
-
Kilocalorie (IT)/minute
-
A unit of power showing energy transfer rate where one kilocalorie (International Table) is delivered or consumed each minute.
-
Power
-
The rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, expressed in various units such as watts or kilocalorie (IT)/minute.
