Foot Pound-Force/minute
The foot pound-force per minute (ft*lbf/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of work done in foot-pounds over one minute.
History/Origin
This unit has been used primarily in engineering and mechanical contexts to measure power, especially in the United States, where imperial units are common. It originated from the foot-pound-force as a measure of work, combined with time to express power.
Current Use
The foot pound-force per minute is still used in certain engineering fields, particularly in the United States, for measuring power in mechanical systems, motors, and torque-related applications where imperial units are standard.
Btu (Th)/second
Btu (th)/second is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically one British thermal unit (th) per second.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (th) has been used historically in the United States for measuring heat energy, and its use in power units like Btu (th)/s dates back to traditional energy and heat transfer calculations in engineering and thermodynamics.
Current Use
Btu (th)/second is primarily used in the United States for industrial and engineering applications involving heat transfer rates, although it is less common compared to SI units like watts.
