Pound-Force Inch
Pound-force inch (lbf·in) is a unit of torque representing the torque resulting from a one-pound-force applied at a perpendicular distance of one inch from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The pound-force inch has been used historically in engineering and mechanical contexts to quantify torque, especially in the United States, based on the imperial system of units. It originated from the need to measure rotational force in machinery and automotive applications.
Current Use
Today, pound-force inch is still used in engineering, automotive, and mechanical fields to specify torque values, particularly in the United States. It is often converted to SI units like newton-meters for international standardization.
Megawatt-Hour
A megawatt-hour (MW·h) is a unit of energy equal to one megawatt of power sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The megawatt-hour has been used since the development of large-scale electrical power systems to quantify energy production and consumption, especially in power generation and grid management, becoming standard in the 20th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used today to measure electricity generation, consumption, and capacity in power plants, utilities, and energy markets worldwide.
