Foot Pound-Force/hour
Foot pound-force per hour (ft*lbf/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of work done in foot-pounds over the period of one hour.
History/Origin
The foot pound-force is an imperial unit of work or energy, and its use in power measurements like ft*lbf/h has been common in engineering fields in the United States. It has been used historically in mechanical and thermodynamic contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, ft*lbf/h is primarily used in specific engineering applications, such as in the measurement of small power outputs in mechanical systems, though it is largely replaced by SI units like watts in most scientific and international contexts.
Kilocalorie (It)/second
A kilocalorie per second (kcal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and thermodynamics, has been a standard unit of energy measurement. Its use in power calculations, such as kcal/s, emerged in contexts requiring energy transfer rates, though it is less common than SI units like watts.
Current Use
Kcal/s is primarily used in specialized fields like thermodynamics and calorimetry to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in contexts involving heat transfer and energy consumption, though it is less prevalent than SI units.
