Pound-Foot/hour
Pound-foot per hour (lbf·ft/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of work done in foot-pounds per hour, commonly used in engineering to measure power output or consumption.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per hour originated from the imperial system of units, primarily used in the United States, to quantify power in mechanical and engineering contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of SI units but remains relevant in certain industries.
Current Use
Today, pound-foot per hour is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as mechanical and aerospace engineering, for measuring power in systems where imperial units are standard. It is also used in historical data and legacy systems.
Hectojoule/second
Hectojoule per second (hJ/s) is a unit of power representing one hundred joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The unit hJ/s is derived from the SI unit joule (J) and the metric prefix hecto- (h), used to express larger quantities of energy transfer rate, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts. It has been used as an alternative to watts in certain fields, though watts are more standard.
Current Use
Hectojoule per second is occasionally used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify power, especially in contexts where larger energy transfer rates are involved. However, the watt (W) remains the standard SI unit for power, and hJ/s is less common in everyday use.
