Calorie (th)/hour as a Unit of Power
The calorie (th)/hour, often abbreviated as cal/h, is a unit of power that measures the rate at which energy is transferred or converted. Specifically, it is defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius over the duration of an hour.
This unit is commonly used in situations involving heating, cooking, and nutritional contexts. While the calorie is a well-known unit in the field of nutrition, the calorie (th)/hour serves a different purpose by focusing on the power aspect of energy consumption. In comparison to other power units, such as watts, where one watt equals 1 joule per second, the calorie (th)/hour tends to be more relatable in everyday scenarios, particularly in assessing the energy efficiency of appliances and food cooking methods. Understanding this unit helps consumers make informed decisions about energy use and dietary choices.
