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.
Joule/minute
Joule per minute (J/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in joules transferred or converted per minute.
History/Origin
The joule per minute has been used as a measure of power in various engineering and scientific contexts, especially where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, though it is less common than watts.
Current Use
J/min is used in specific applications such as industrial processes, heating systems, and other scenarios where power is measured over a minute, but it is generally converted to watts for standardization in scientific and technical fields.
