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.
Microjoule/second
The microjoule per second (µJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one microjoule equals 10^-6 joules, transferred per second.
History/Origin
The microjoule per second originated from the need to measure very small power levels in scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields like electronics and nanotechnology, as a scaled-down unit of the watt (joule per second).
Current Use
It is used in applications requiring precise measurement of low power levels, such as in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), sensor technology, and research involving minute energy transfers.
