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.
Pound-Foot/minute
Pound-foot per minute (lbf·ft/min) is a unit of power representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, specifically the amount of work in pound-feet performed per minute.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per minute has been used historically in engineering and mechanical contexts to measure power, especially in systems where imperial units are prevalent. It is derived from the foot-pound unit of work, divided by time in minutes, aligning with traditional British engineering practices.
Current Use
Today, pound-foot per minute is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as mechanical and automotive industries, to measure torque-related power outputs, though it is less common than SI units like watts or horsepower.
