What are Megajoule/second and Calorie (IT)/second

Definition of Megajoule/second

A Megajoule per second (MJ/s) represents a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). It quantifies the rate at which energy is transferred or converted over time. The term 'Megajoule' refers to one million joules, where a joule is the energy transferred when a force of one newton moves an object one meter. Therefore, a Megajoule per second indicates a significant energy transfer, commonly used to describe large-scale power output, such as that in electrical power plants or industrial machinery. Its versatility makes it an essential unit in various scientific and engineering applications.

Definition of Calorie (IT)/second

Calorie (IT) per second, often noted as cal/s, is a unit of power based on the International Table Calorie. Originally defined to quantify thermal energy, one Calorie (IT) equals 4.1868 joules. Consequently, Calorie (IT) per second measures the rate of energy transfer equivalent to this amount of joules each second. This unit is commonly used in fields like nutrition and thermal engineering to express metabolic rates or the energy output of heating systems. The cal/s unit provides a practical means to communicate energy transfer in contexts where caloric content or thermal energy is pivotal.
