A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power measurement in the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to one trillionth of a watt or 10^-12 watts. The term originates from the metric prefix 'pico,' which denotes a factor of 10^-12. This unit is often used in scientific and engineering contexts where extremely small amounts of power are involved, such as in nanotechnology, microelectronics, and various research fields requiring precise power measurements. It provides a standardized way to quantify and communicate power levels that are much smaller than those encountered in everyday electrical and electronic devices.
Definition of TonA ton of refrigeration (TR) is a unit of power used to describe the cooling capacity of air conditioning systems. It is defined as the amount of heat required to melt one ton (2,000 pounds) of ice in a 24-hour period. This translates to approximately 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour. The concept originated from the historical method of cooling spaces with blocks of ice and remains a standard industry measurement. It is commonly used in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) to specify and compare the cooling power of different systems, making it easier for consumers and professionals to understand cooling capacities.
