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.
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.
