What does exajoule per second represent?

Exajoule per second is a unit of power representing an energy flow of 10^18 joules every second, commonly used for planetary or astrophysical scale energy rates.

Why use foot pound-force per hour as a unit?

Foot pound-force per hour is used to express very small mechanical power or work rates, especially in legacy imperial-system engineering contexts.

Is the conversion from EJ/s to ft·lbf/hr straightforward?

While the conversion follows a fixed formula, the large difference in magnitude means results can be extremely large, requiring careful handling.

Key Terminology

Exajoule per second (EJ/s): A unit of power quantifying energy flow at 10^18 joules per second, equivalent to one exawatt.
Foot pound-force per hour (ft·lbf/hr): A non-SI unit of power representing one foot-pound-force of work performed or energy transferred every hour, commonly used in imperial system mechanical contexts.
Power: The rate at which work is done or energy is transferred over time.
Conversion Rate: The factor used to change a measurement from one unit to another; here, 1 EJ/s equals approximately 2.655×10^21 ft·lbf/hr.
