Pound-Foot/hour
Pound-foot per hour (lbf·ft/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of work done in foot-pounds per hour, commonly used in engineering to measure power output or consumption.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per hour originated from the imperial system of units, primarily used in the United States, to quantify power in mechanical and engineering contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of SI units but remains relevant in certain industries.
Current Use
Today, pound-foot per hour is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as mechanical and aerospace engineering, for measuring power in systems where imperial units are standard. It is also used in historical data and legacy systems.
Kilocalorie (Th)/minute
Kilocalorie (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the energy in kilocalories (thermochemical) transferred or consumed per minute.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (th) is a traditional unit used to measure energy, especially in nutrition and thermodynamics, with its use dating back to early calorimetry. The per-minute notation indicates a rate of energy transfer over time.
Current Use
This unit is primarily used in scientific contexts involving thermal energy transfer rates, such as in calorimetry, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications where energy flow is measured in kilocalories per minute.
