Decijoule/second
A decijoule per second (dJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one-tenth of a joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The decijoule is a decimal submultiple of the joule, introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate measurements at smaller scales. Its usage in power calculations, such as decijoules per second, has been consistent with the adoption of SI units, though it is less common in modern practice.
Current Use
Decijoule per second is rarely used in contemporary contexts; power is more commonly expressed in watts (joules per second). When used, it typically appears in specialized scientific or engineering applications requiring fine-grained energy rate measurements at the deci level.
Pound-Foot/second
A pound-foot per second (lbf·ft/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, equivalent to one pound-force acting through a distance of one foot per second.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per second has been used primarily in engineering contexts within the Imperial system to quantify power, especially in mechanical and automotive applications, though it is less common than other units like horsepower.
Current Use
Today, the pound-foot per second is rarely used; it is mainly referenced in historical data or specific engineering calculations involving Imperial units, with the more standard unit of power being the horsepower or the watt in SI units.
