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.
Mbtu (It)/hour
MBtu/h (Million British thermal units per hour) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption, particularly in heating, cooling, and energy industries.
History/Origin
The MBtu/h unit originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy, with the 'Million' prefix indicating a large-scale measurement. It has been used primarily in the United States and industry contexts to quantify energy flow rates in power and energy systems.
Current Use
Today, MBtu/h is used in the energy sector to specify heating and cooling capacities, energy production rates, and power consumption in industrial and commercial applications, especially where large-scale thermal energy transfer is involved.
