Pound-Foot/second
A pound-foot per second (lbf·ft/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, equivalent to one pound-force acting through a distance of one foot per second.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per second has been used primarily in engineering contexts within the Imperial system to quantify power, especially in mechanical and automotive applications, though it is less common than other units like horsepower.
Current Use
Today, the pound-foot per second is rarely used; it is mainly referenced in historical data or specific engineering calculations involving Imperial units, with the more standard unit of power being the horsepower or the watt in 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.
