What does foot pound-force per hour measure?

Foot pound-force per hour is a non-SI unit of power representing one foot-pound-force of work performed or energy transferred every hour, often used in legacy imperial systems.

Why convert foot pound-force/hour to kilojoule/second?

Converting to kilojoule/second expresses small legacy mechanical power rates in standard SI units for easier comparison, analysis, and modern engineering applications.

Is kilojoule/second the same as kilowatt?

Yes, one kilojoule per second equals one kilowatt; both measure power at 1,000 watts.
