Mbh
MBH (Thousand British Thermal Units per Hour) is a unit of power used to measure the heat output of heating and cooling systems, equivalent to 1,000 BTU per hour.
History/Origin
The MBH unit originated in the HVAC industry as a practical way to quantify large heating and cooling capacities, especially in commercial applications, aligning with the British thermal unit (BTU) system used in the United States.
Current Use
Today, MBH is commonly used in the HVAC industry to specify the capacity of boilers, furnaces, and air conditioning units, facilitating standardized communication of heating and cooling power in commercial and industrial settings.
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.
