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.
Btu (It)/second
Btu per second (Btu/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one British thermal unit (Btu) is transferred or converted every second.
History/Origin
The Btu (British thermal unit) has been used historically to measure energy, especially in heating and cooling industries. The use of Btu per second as a power unit emerged to quantify energy transfer rates in engineering and scientific contexts, aligning with the broader adoption of the Btu in energy measurement.
Current Use
Btu/s is used primarily in engineering and energy industries to specify power levels, such as in heating, cooling, and energy transfer systems, although it is less common than SI units like watts.
