Pound-Foot/minute
Pound-foot per minute (lbf·ft/min) is a unit of power representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, specifically the amount of work in pound-feet performed per minute.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per minute has been used historically in engineering and mechanical contexts to measure power, especially in systems where imperial units are prevalent. It is derived from the foot-pound unit of work, divided by time in minutes, aligning with traditional British engineering practices.
Current Use
Today, pound-foot per minute is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as mechanical and automotive industries, to measure torque-related power outputs, though it is less common than SI units like watts or horsepower.
Kilocalorie (It)/hour
Kilocalorie per hour (kcal/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adopted as a unit of energy. Its use in power measurement, such as kcal/h, emerged in contexts like thermal and caloric power calculations, especially in fields related to heating and energy transfer.
Current Use
kcal/h is used in applications involving thermal power, such as heating systems, calorimetry, and energy transfer calculations where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
