Foot Pound-Force/hour
Foot pound-force per hour (ft*lbf/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of work done in foot-pounds over the period of one hour.
History/Origin
The foot pound-force is an imperial unit of work or energy, and its use in power measurements like ft*lbf/h has been common in engineering fields in the United States. It has been used historically in mechanical and thermodynamic contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, ft*lbf/h is primarily used in specific engineering applications, such as in the measurement of small power outputs in mechanical systems, though it is largely replaced by SI units like watts in most scientific and international contexts.
Megajoule/second
A megajoule per second (MJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one megajoule of energy transferred or converted per second, where 1 megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify large-scale power, especially in fields like physics and energy systems, as a convenient unit for expressing high power levels. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second).
Current Use
Today, MJ/s is primarily used in scientific research, energy production, and engineering to describe high power outputs, such as in power plants, large-scale energy systems, and theoretical calculations involving energy transfer rates.
