Horsepower (550 Ft*lbf/s)

Horsepower (hp) is a unit of power measurement, defined as 550 foot-pounds of work per second (ft·lbf/s).

History/Origin

The horsepower was developed by James Watt in the late 18th century to compare the power of steam engines with draft horses, and it became a standard unit for measuring engine power.

Current Use

Horsepower is still widely used today to rate the power of engines and motors in automotive, aviation, and industrial applications.


Centijoule/second

A centijoule per second (cJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to 0.01 joules per second.

History/Origin

The centijoule per second is derived from the SI unit joule, with the prefix centi indicating a hundredth, and is used in contexts requiring smaller power measurements. It has been in use as a supplementary unit in scientific and engineering fields where precise, small-scale power measurements are needed.

Current Use

The cJ/s is used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications involving small power quantities, such as in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), low-power electronics, and detailed energy transfer analyses within the 'Power' converter category.
