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.
Gigajoule/second
A gigajoule per second (GJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one gigajoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The gigajoule per second emerged as a larger-scale unit of power measurement, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify high power levels, especially in energy production and consumption. It is derived from the SI unit joule and the prefix giga, combined with the second as the time unit.
Current Use
GJ/s is used in fields such as energy industry, power generation, and large-scale energy transfer analysis to express high power rates, often in the context of power plants, energy infrastructure, and large energy projects.
