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.
Kilojoule/minute
A kilojoule per minute (kJ/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in kilojoules transferred or converted per minute.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per minute has been used as a unit of power in various scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields where energy transfer rates are measured over time, though it is less common than watts. Its usage has been consistent with the adoption of the SI system, where energy is measured in joules and power in watts.
Current Use
Today, the kilojoule per minute is primarily used in specialized fields such as nutrition, physics, and engineering to express energy transfer rates, particularly when dealing with larger quantities of energy over time, although the watt remains the standard SI unit for power.
