What are Foot Pound-force/minute and Btu (IT)/second

Definition of Foot Pound-force/minute

Foot Pound-force per minute (ft lbf/min) is a unit of power that measures the amount of work done or energy transferred per minute. Specifically, it quantifies the rate at which work is performed when a force of one pound-force is applied over a foot of distance in one minute. Commonly used in mechanical and engineering contexts, this unit helps in understanding the power output or input of machines, engines, and other systems. It is particularly useful when analyzing the efficiency of energy transfer in systems where rotational or linear forces are involved.

Definition of Btu (IT)/second

British Thermal Unit (International Table) per second (Btu IT/s) is a power unit that quantifies the rate of energy transfer equivalent to one British Thermal Unit per second. This unit is commonly used in fields related to heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration to measure the energy output or input of systems. Originating from the British Imperial system, Btu IT/s provides a practical way to express power in terms of thermal energy, offering an intuitive understanding of how much heat a device can generate or consume over time. Its use is prevalent in both scientific and engineering applications.
