Horsepower Hour
A horsepower hour (hp*h) is a unit of energy representing the amount of energy equivalent to one horsepower of power sustained over one hour of time.
History/Origin
The horsepower hour originated from the traditional unit of horsepower used to quantify engine power, combined with the hour to measure energy consumption or production over time. It has been used primarily in engineering and energy industries to express energy usage or capacity.
Current Use
Today, the horsepower hour is rarely used in practical applications, having been largely replaced by the joule and other SI units. However, it may still be referenced in historical data, legacy systems, or specific industries dealing with older measurement standards within the energy and mechanical sectors.
Newton Meter
A newton meter (N·m) is a unit of torque or energy, representing the amount of force applied over a distance.
History/Origin
The newton meter was established as a standard unit of torque and energy in the International System of Units (SI) to provide a consistent measurement for mechanical work and rotational force.
Current Use
It is commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify torque in mechanical systems and to measure energy in contexts such as physics calculations and energy conversions.
