Foot Pound-Force/second
The foot pound-force per second (ft·lbf/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of work done or energy transferred, where one foot pound-force is the work done when a force of one pound-force moves an object one foot.
History/Origin
The foot pound-force per second has been used historically in engineering and physics, especially in the United States, as a practical unit of power in mechanical and thermodynamic contexts before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the foot pound-force per second is primarily used in certain engineering fields, such as mechanical and aerospace engineering, for expressing power in systems where imperial units are standard, though it is less common with the global shift towards SI units.
Kilojoule/hour
A kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in kilojoules transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per hour has been used as a measure of power in contexts where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, particularly in engineering and scientific applications, though it is less common than standard SI units like watts.
Current Use
kJ/h is used in specific fields such as thermodynamics and energy management to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in systems where energy is measured in kilojoules and the rate is expressed per hour, though it is often converted to watts for standardization.
