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.
Mbtu (It)/hour
MBtu/h (Million British thermal units per hour) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption, particularly in heating, cooling, and energy industries.
History/Origin
The MBtu/h unit originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy, with the 'Million' prefix indicating a large-scale measurement. It has been used primarily in the United States and industry contexts to quantify energy flow rates in power and energy systems.
Current Use
Today, MBtu/h is used in the energy sector to specify heating and cooling capacities, energy production rates, and power consumption in industrial and commercial applications, especially where large-scale thermal energy transfer is involved.
