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.
Btu (Th)/second
Btu (th)/second is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically one British thermal unit (th) per second.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (th) has been used historically in the United States for measuring heat energy, and its use in power units like Btu (th)/s dates back to traditional energy and heat transfer calculations in engineering and thermodynamics.
Current Use
Btu (th)/second is primarily used in the United States for industrial and engineering applications involving heat transfer rates, although it is less common compared to SI units like watts.
