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.
Calorie (Th)/hour
Calorie per hour (cal(th)/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of heat energy in calories transferred or used per hour.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and physics. The 'th' denotes the thermochemical calorie, an older standard. The unit cal(th)/h has been used historically in thermodynamics and heat transfer measurements.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/h is rarely used in modern scientific contexts, having been largely replaced by SI units like watts. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specialized fields involving heat transfer calculations.
