What is a kilojoule per hour?

A kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) is a power unit measuring the rate of energy transfer of 1,000 joules delivered or consumed every hour, often used for small-to-moderate energy rates over time.

What does pound-foot per minute measure?

Pound-foot per minute (lbf·ft/min) is an imperial mechanical power unit showing the rate of work done when one pound-force moves through one foot in one minute.

Why convert from kilojoule/hour to pound-foot/minute?

This conversion translates energy transfer rates over hours into mechanical power expressed in imperial units, useful in engineering and mechanical fields and for comparing to horsepower ratings.
