Horsepower (550 Ft*lbf/s)

Horsepower (hp) is a unit of power measurement, defined as 550 foot-pounds of work per second (ft·lbf/s).

History/Origin

The horsepower was developed by James Watt in the late 18th century to compare the power of steam engines with draft horses, and it became a standard unit for measuring engine power.

Current Use

Horsepower is still widely used today to rate the power of engines and motors in automotive, aviation, and industrial applications.


Joule/minute

Joule per minute (J/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in joules transferred or converted per minute.

History/Origin

The joule per minute has been used as a measure of power in various engineering and scientific contexts, especially where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, though it is less common than watts.

Current Use

J/min is used in specific applications such as industrial processes, heating systems, and other scenarios where power is measured over a minute, but it is generally converted to watts for standardization in scientific and technical fields.
