Horsepower (Water)
Horsepower (water) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of water flow or energy transfer, based on the power exerted by a water stream.
History/Origin
The water horsepower originated in the 19th century as a way to quantify the power of water wheels and turbines, with its value historically linked to the energy produced by a specific flow of water under certain conditions.
Current Use
Today, water horsepower is primarily used in hydraulic engineering and water power industries to specify the capacity of water turbines, pumps, and other hydraulic equipment.
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.
